MAY'S NORTHERN GROWN FRUITS, BEST FOR ALL CLIMES, 
RASPBERRIES. 
CULTURE. — Plant in good soil, and manure from 
time to time freely. The hills should not be less than 
four feet apart each way, with two or three plants in 
a hill. Cut out the old and weak shoots each year, 
preserving not over six for fruiting. If the location 
is so much exposed that the plants are in- 
clined to kill down seriously, they may be 
bent over in the fall, on mounds of earth 
formed at one side of the hills and covered 
sufficiently to keep them down until spring. 
Surplus suckers take strength from the bear- 
ing plants. They should be cut away or 
hoed up frequently.
