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 

 cshould be spaded and a top dressing of manure 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 evergreens. 



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



Those marked * require protection.
