TIP PLANT 



Prepare the ground thoroughly by ploughing deeply and manuring liberally. \Yell-rotted stable manure 

 is perhaps the best of all fertilizers, but ground bone is good. In planting set the red, or upright growing 

 varieties in rows six feet apart and the plants three feet distant in the row, requiring 2,420 plants per acre; 

 or four feet apart each way, if to be grown in hills. In the garden plant four feet apart each way and restrict 

 to hills, growing but three or four canes to the hill. As soon as planted, cut back the canes to six inches of 

 the ground. In field culture the cap varieties should be planted in rows seven feet apart and three and a half 

 feet apart in the row; in the garden, plant four feet apart each way. 



Keep the soil loose and free of weeds by frequent stirring of the soil with horse-harrow and with the 

 hoe, throughout the season; and permit only a single row of suckers, or three or four to the hill, to remain 

 for next year's fruiting; treating all others as weeds. (It is a common error to allow a mass of suckers to 

 grow and rob the fruiting canes and also the young canes needed for the following year's crop.) 



Prune during winter or early spring, before the buds have swollen, cutting the canes of the cap varieties 

 n the middle of the blend and the laterals back to six to ten inches. 



The upright or red varieties should be pruned to an even height, cutting off at least a third of the top 

 of the canes and trimming back the laterals severely. 



Please do not order less than a half dozen of a variety; a proper test cannot be made with a less number. 



BRILLIANT 



The brightest in color and the most beautiful of red raspberries. As it is the firmest, I believe it to be 

 the best red raspberry for market as yet in commerce. The berries are large, very uniform, and of the 

 brightest crimson imaginable; the canes are of ironclad hardihood and prolific. It ripens in advance of 

 the old Cuthbert by a week to ten days, but is not so early as St. Regis. It is rapidly becoming popular 

 and is sure to be largely planted in the near future. Suckers, doz., 50c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. Trans- 

 planted, doz., 75c.; 100, $3.00,
