RASPBERRIES. 



To keep a raspberry bed in good productive condition, the old, weak and dead wood should be cut out every 

 season, to give strength to the young shoots for the next year's bearing. In spring the weakest suckers should be 

 removed, leaving five or six of the strongest in each hill. The ground should be spaded and a top dressing of ma- 

 nure given. 



Protection. — To guard against injury by the Winter, the canes may be tied to stakes and covered with straw, 

 or they may be laid down in the Autumn and covered with a few inches of earth, leaves, litter or branches of ever- 

 greens. 



They can be planted in the Fall or Spring with success. Black Caps cannot be planted in the Fall. 

 Price, 75 cents per dozen, $3.00 per 100, except where noted.
