224? OF RASPBERRIES. 



have finished planting the piece ; then, where you 

 first began to plant, begin and tread the grounll 

 with your foot as hard as you can along each of 

 the trenches, and in the same direction as you 

 planted ; then with a spade level all the ground 

 smooth, and run it over with a rake, taking off any 

 stones and rubbish that may be left on the surface. 



In dry weather, the plants should be watered 

 two or three times a week till they have taken 

 root. It will be necessary to stake the Antwerp 

 and other strong-growing sorts, with stout stakes ; 

 then run a couple of small rails at top, to tie the 

 branches to ; which will prevent their being broken 

 by the wind, or beaten down by the rain. The 

 Early White and smaller sorts may be planted 

 together at top, tying them round with the small 

 yellow willow, which will keep them together. 

 Some of the Early Pcaspberries may be planted 

 between the trees on a West aspect, to produce 

 early fruit before those in the quarters come in. 

 The Antwerp will thrive exceedingly well against 

 North walls or palings, and will produce late crops. 

 Such as are planted against walls or palings should 

 be tacked to them. 



Where you find any of the small Red and White 

 Raspberries, destroy them, and plant the following 

 sorts in their room, viz. the Large Red, the 

 Smooth Cane Double-bearing, the Large Red and 

 White Antwerps, the Large Common White, the 

 Double-bearing White, and Woodward's New 

 Raspberry,
