THE CHASE NURSERIES. GENEVA, N. Y. 
COMING immediately after Strawberries, when there is a dearth of other 
fresh fruit, Raspberries are equally desirable for planting m the garden 
for home use. and in the field for market. They are easily cultivated. Beds 
seldom require renewing. Their season of ripening is long. The fruit bears 
transportation well, and aside from the demand for it for immediate consump- 
tion, it brings remunerative prices for drying and canning. 
Plant in good soil and manure it from time to time freely. The hills should 
be not less than four feet apart each way. Cut out the old and weak shoots 
each vear, preserving not over six for fruiting. If the location is much ex- 
nosed" and the plants inclined 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 suffi- 
ciently to keep them down until spring. Surplus suckers take strength from 
the bearing plants. They should be cutaway or hoed up frequently. 
Raspberries may be made very profitable with good cultivation. 
Black Raspberries 
Cumberland.— The largest of 
them all. Good quality, hardy and 
productive. Fruit firm, similar to

Eureka. — Large, juicy, rich, 
hardy and a big producer. A valu- 
able early blackcap. 
Gregg. — A very large berry of 
excellent quality. Produces larger 
crops and is fine for evaporating 
or canning. Makes juicy, rich pies. 
Gault.— (The Greatest Novelty 
in small Fruits)— Fruit immense 
size; commences to ripen with 
Gregg, continuing two or three 
weeks longer, when fruit on young 
canes commences to ripen, continu- 
ing until frost. Young canes fre- 
quently produce clusters of 80 to 
100 perfect berries.
