RASPBERRY CULTURE 



Start in spring before the land can be culti- 

 vated. 



Mulching — In the garden a mulching sys- 

 tem is often more satisfactory than cultiva- 

 tion, and it is employed very successfully by 

 some commercial growers as well. If sufficient 

 straw, old hay, or other similar materials are 

 used to prevent the growth of weeds, the 

 moisture supply is maintained in an efficient 

 way. On sandy or gravelly soils raspberries 

 may thrive better under a good mulch system 

 than under cultivation.
