Raspberries 
A common plan for laying out a Raspberry planta- 
tion is to plant in rows 6 to 8 feet apart and 2 to 3 
feet or more in the row; but recent experience has 
convinced us that there is a better plan. It is to plant 
in hedge rows, 8 to 10 feet apart and 12 to 18 inches 
apart in a row. The dense hedge row smothers out 
all weeds, and renders cultivation easier and quicker. 
The space between the rows should be frequently 
and well cultivated. 
It is a well known fact that Raspberries are al- 
ways finer, larger and sweeter if grown partially in 
the shade; the hedge row furnishes this condition. 
WHITE GRAPE CURRANT It also protects the young canes from being twisted

finer fruit, and easier and quicker cultivation. Give this plan a trial and you will 
soon be convinced of its advantages over the old way.
