RASPBERRIES 



To keep a raspberry bed in good productive couditiou, the old, weak and dead -n-ood 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 straAv, 

 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 cekts ter dozen, $3. GO per 100, except avhere noted.
