RED RASPBERRIES

 ment Station and is an outstanding con- 

 tribution to the berry industry. It is an 

 everbearing type of red raspberry that 

 Produces A Large Crop In June And Yet 

 Another Fine Crop In September. This fall 

 crop is considerably earlier than that of 

 other everbearing raspberries so Septem- 

 ber is especially desirable. The berries 

 are unusually large and have a delicious 

 flavor. You will surely want some of this 

 wonderful variety in your garden.

GROWING RASPBERRIES 



Raspberries give best results in areas 

 where the summers are not unusually hot or 

 dry. Therefore they are not generally grown 

 south of Tennessee and Missouri. A good, 

 fertile soil that retains moisture but is still 

 not poorly drained gives best results. Rasp- 

 berries may be set in the fall but early spring 

 is the best planting time. If possible a high 

 amount of well rotted manure should be mix- 

 ed into the soil before planting. Also a regu- 

 lar spring appliation of about 450 pounds per 

 acre of 10-10-10 fertilizer is important. This 

 is equivalent to about 6 ounces per plant. In 

 small plantings the rows are usually 6 feet 

 apart with 4 feet between plants. Rasp- 



berries are generally planted in early spring 

 and will produce a crop about 15 months af- 

 ter planting. The canes are tied to wires or 

 to posts, depending upon the planting system. 

 After the first fruiting season the canes of 

 regular red and black raspberries are pruned 

 out — leaving the new canes which will bear 

 fruit the next seeason. In the case of ever- 

 bearing raspberries the canes which produc- 

 ed the fall crop should not be pruned out but 

 only slightly cut back in the spring. For best 

 results with raspberries a recommended 

 spray program for control of diseases and 

 insects is necessary. It is likewise impor- 

 tant that good planting stock be used.
