Raspberries 
The Raspberry succeeds best in a deep, rich soil, and well repays 
generous treatment. The sucker varieties should be planted from 2 
'to 3 feet apart in rows thai are 5 to 6 feet apart. Tliree to five canes 
.should be left in each hiU to bear fruit, and others should be cut out aa 
tliey appear. Good, clean culture is necessary to obtain the best results. 
VarietieE that root from the tip should be planted from 2^ to 3% 
feet apart, in rows that are C to 7 feet apart, varying in distance accord- 
ing to the richness of the soil and the habit of growth of the different 
varieties. The points of the young canes should be pinched out as 
soon as they reach the height ot 1% to 3 feet, according to the vigor of 
the cane. This will cause them to make low. spreading, stocky bushes 
that will support themselves without the aid of stakes or trellises. 
During the latter part of winter, or in early spring, the canes should 
be pruned by cutting all the branches back from 6 to 1 5 inches in 
length, varying with the strength of the plants. It is better to remove 
the old wood soon after the fruit is gathered, but this work is often 
deferred until the spring pruning'. Raspberries are benefited by shade 
if not dense. 
Red Raspberries 
ri:is Kverbearing. 
ST. REGIS (Red Kverbearing Raspberry). Brilliant crimson, very 
large, juicy, highest quality. Ships well. The canes are very strong, 
vigorous and hardy. The main crop is as heavy as the black caps. It 
is the most productive of all red raspberries. The old canes continue 
to produce until late August when the canes of this sfa.'!on*s growth 
begin to ripen some fruit. The first of the crop comes very early. This 
is the only successful "over-bearing" raspberry, and is most profitable. 
CUTHBERT (Queen of the Market). The latter title is indeed true, 
since as a market variety it is a reigning sort. Of large size and fine 
flavor, reliable and an enormous bearer; rich crimson ; firm, excellent 
for market and shipping; largely used everywhere, and best of Its color. 
MIIiI..ER. lierry large as Cuthbert, holding its size to the end of the 
season; round in shape; color bright red, does not fade, but will hold 
its color after shipment longer than any other red variety; core very 
small, does not crumble, making it the best shipping berry in existence; 
has not the flat taste of some varieties, but a rich, fruity flavor entirely 
its own. The time of ripening is with the very earliest. Production 
equal to any. 
SHAFI-rEU'S COIXKSSAl.. Colossal both In bush and berry; carries 
to market well; excellent to dry and unsurpassed for canning; berry 
dark crimson in color and excellent In quality; a very valuable variety; 
doe.'! not sucker, but roots from the tips like blackcaps. 
TI'RNER. A red sort, popular throughout the West, hardy and pro- 
ductive.

about two weeks; canes hardy, fruit ot good quality, and an enormous 
bearer; grows from tips, not suckers. 
SOUHEGAX. A black variety, and the very earliest, coming In with 
the late strawberries; perfectly hardy, of vigorous growth; canes branch- 
ing freely and very productive; Jet black, without bloom; best quality.
