System of Planting 



Provided the contour of the land is 

 adapted to the hill system, or, as it is 



sometimes called, the square system, we 

 much prefer that method. Our preference 

 is based upon the belief that by this sys- 

 tem a greater amount of fruit can be 

 produced with a given amount of labor 

 than by the system of setting in rows. 



Red Raspberries : 5, King — Fruit resembling Cuthbert in size, season, sbape and 

 quality (a good variety). 6, Ruby — Fruit small, dark red, early, of poor quality. 

 8, Franconia — ^Fruit bright red, early, good size, very poor quality. 11, Red Ant- 

 werp — Medium to large, dark red, acid, rather coarse ; one of the popular early 

 varieties ; most prolific, and next to Cuthbert the most popular.
