RASPBERRIES 
There are two classes of Raspberries, — the red varieties and the blackcaps. The former are 
reproduced by suckers and root cuttings; the latter from the tips. The red varieties .succeed in almost 
all soils, but do not thrive as well in heavy clay as in lighter ground. A heavy .soil suits the blackcaps 
better than a sandy one. Red Raspberries can be planted in the fall or spring with success.
