RASPBERRIES 
Plant raspberries and care for them the same as black- 
berries, excepting that the old canes should be cut out 
as soon as the fruit is ripe and the leaves drop, so that 
all nourishment may be taken up by next year’s growth. 
The patch should be renewed every five or six years. 
The young shoots coming up from the roots may be 
transplanted. 
CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES 
Set the plants three feet apart in rows five feet apart. 
Careful cultivation will increase the yield as well as the 
quality of the fruit. Manure liberally. When the season 
becomes hot and dry, mulch with coarse manure between 
the rows. Keep all dead wood cut out. If the canes be- 
come too numerous, remove some of the weaker ones. 
Transplant new shoots that grow up from the roots. 
Pests. For the currant worm, spray with Paris green 
or lead arsenate before the plant blooms. If a second 
brood appears, spray with white hellebore.

best results will be obtained by careful cultivation and 
by dressing the soil each year with barnyard manure, 
commercial fertilizer, or bone meal. Spade the fertilizer
