146 GARDEN GUIDE 



the young shoots given every chance to ripen before Winter sets in, 

 when they may be tied together in bunches of five or six canes and left 

 in this way until Spring, when they must be tied to the wires emd 

 trimmed evenly along the top to make them look neat. 



Raspberries are not subject to much trouble from insects or 

 diseases. ~ , 



They are propagated by division of the roots or from cuttings, 

 which should be taken from the ripened shoots and inserted in the 

 ground in September, and will commence to grow the following Spring. 



There are red, yellow and black Raspberries, but the red varieties 

 are the most popular. A few well tried varieties follow: 

 CuTHBERT. Red, large and sweet ; the most popular of aU Raspberries 

 Brand YwiNE. A iMge, bright red berry; a good cropper. 

 Golden Queen. Large, amber color; fine quahty. 

 Cumberland. Very large, black, glossy berries, juicy and sweet. 



The culture of Blackberries is s imil ar to the directions given for 

 Raspberries. They grow stronger, however, 

 BLACKBERRIES and require more room, and owing to their 

 sharp thorns they are not so desirable in the 

 small garden. Some object to the many seeds they contain, par- 

 ticularly if grown on poor soil, but a few varietie_s are almost seedless: 

 Taylor. Without core and one of the best. 

 Erie. Of very good quality. 

 Iceberg. Produces white berries of a good flavor. 



A few plants of the Loganberry may be grown as a useful 

 novelty. The fruit has a very flat taste, but 

 LOGANBERRY looks very pretty as a dessert, on the table. 

 There should be no reason why this easily 

 cjiltivated fruit, which was raised by a Judge Logan in California, 

 should not be tried in many gardens. In England it has become a 

 general favorite. Its treatment in all respects is similar to that of 

 the Raspberry.
