RASPBERRIES. 
©-@-¢—__—_ 
To keep a Raspberry bed in good, productive condition, the old, weak and dead wood 
should be cut out every season, as soon as the crop is gathered, 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 manure given. 
Prorection.—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 evergreens.
