Raspberries 



A ready market can always be found for raspberries. When well cared for they 

 are sure to return a good profit. A patch of raspberries should be renewed about 

 once in five years, as by that time the quality of the berries deteriorates and the 

 fruit becomes small. The plants should be well manured and cultivated at frequent 

 intervals. In training allow only a few canes to grow from each plant, cutting 

 away all suckers to throw the strength into the stalk for bearing; all old canes 

 should be removed immediately after the fruit is all picked. Cut out the old and 

 weak shoots each year.
