Raspberries are profitable 

 and easily grown, and will 

 undoubtedly fit into your pro- 

 gram nicely. Select a good 

 piece of ground, that is 

 slightly elevated, prepare the 

 soil thoroughly as for other 

 truck crops, do not set in sod 

 land. It is advisable to 

 spread the land with manure 

 before planting. Spring 

 planting is considered best in 

 most sections. For hill sys- 

 tem the usual distance to 

 plant is 5 ft. by 5 ft. If the 

 hedge system is desired plant 

 3 ft. apart in rows which are 

 feet distant.

 cut back to 6 inches or less, i* »"^l '»l'l«l«» 



the plants should be set 

 slightly deeper than they for- 

 merly grew. Cultivate fre- 

 quently enough to retain 

 moisture and kill weeds, but 

 be sure not to cultivate over 

 2 to 3 inches deep next to the plants, as deeper cultivation may cause serious damage. After the fruit- 

 ing season remove all fruiting canes, cutting them close to the ground and burning them, this will help 

 prevent disease and greatly aid the new growth. Do not allow over 8 to 10 canes to grow to the plant, 

 remove all weak canes and suckers, so as to throw all the strength into the young bearing canes. Top- 

 ping canes in the early spring will strengthen the canes and aid in picking. Raspberries respond read- 

 ily to fertile soil, and sufliicient fertilizer or manure should be used to keep your soil in good fertile con- 



and very attractive. Ideal for both home 



dition.
