THOMPSON’S EARLY PROLIFIC. 
Raspberries. Red Varieties. 
(Lf wanted by mail add 10c. per doz.) 
Cultural Notes.—They may be planted in rows four 
feet apart with two feet between the plants in the 
row, or in hills four feet apart each way, setting 
three plants in a hill. In pruning, thin out the shoots 
in each hill to four or six; this is best done in the 
summer after the fruit is gathered, and at the same 
time cut out the old canes that have borne fruit, so 
that the young shoots may develop and ripen their 
wood for the following season’s crop. These in- 
structions apply also to the black varieties.
