Raspberries are one of the most delicious and popular fruits grown, are easily 

 cultivated and require little care. Cut out old and weak roots each year. Plant in 

 good soil in hills about 4 feet apart. With a little care and attention they will pro- 

 duce large crops of berries. In large plantings it is advisable to plant them thickly 

 the same as hedge row.
