Practically the same general directions apply as for the raspberries. Our 
plants are root-cutting plants and are worth tenfold more to the fruit grower than 
sticker plants from old, exhausted patches; be sure you get the genuine nursery 
propagated plants and yon will succeed. The blackberry is a stronger bush than the 
raspberry and should be planted in rows eight feet apart, and from two to three feet 
apart in the row; otherwise, its culture is the same as for the raspberry.
