Culture. -After preparing the soil the same as for strawberries, make straight rows 7 feet apart, and plant 
3 feet apart in the row. Mark only one row at a time, and plant when ground is moist. After setting, press the 
soil firmly about the roots with your feet; 
this is very essential. Cultivate as you would 
corn and potatoes, and do not let any ridge work 
about the row. We cultivate with the Planet Jr. 
Horse Hoe, and practice level culture. You can 
plant anything that will not shade 
them between the rows the first 
year If manure is plenty and you 
can get it, spread on the ground be- 
fore plowing the first 
year, as it adds greatly 
to the crop. The ends 
should be pinched out 
of the young canes 
when 1 foot high the 
first year, and the 
second when 1% feet; 
do not let them get too 
high. By doing this you will dis- 
pense with stakes and wire. The 
pruning should be done in spring, 
when the leaves begin to show 
themselves. Cut the laterals on an average from 6 
to 12 inches in length. When the fruit Is all gath- 
ered, cut out and burn all old wood and young 
canes but the best three. This destroys all in- 
sects and rust that may occur, and the canes make 
a much better growth. 
KING RED RASPBERRY. 
This new variety originated in Ohio, and is one of 
the most beautiful Red Raspberries ever put on the market. Its brilliancy 
of color when placed on the market last season created quite a sensation and 
a demand for more of its fruit than could be supplied; the berries easily brought 
from 6 to 8 cents per quart more than any other varieties. The plant is very 
healthy, robust, exceedingly productive, with strong, healthy canes, hung 
thick with fruit from top to bottom. 
Fruit larger than in any other red va- 
riety we have ever seen. In quality, 
it is all that could be desired, and 
fully equal in flavor to any we know. 
This berry has also the advantage of 
being firm, and will ship to market in 
, . first-class condition— a matter of 
utmost importance to growers. Season about a week later 
than Cuthbert. Price, 25 cts. each, $2 per doz., $15 per 100.

'' T, ;? fl Kin K Raspberry is fine indeed. Large, firm, beautiful color and 
prolific. It is far ahead of Loudon or Miller here.”— Prof W J 
Green. 
King Red Raspberry. 
LOUDON. 
This new candidate for popular favor 
was originated in Wisconsin by F. W. 
Loudon, and hence it bears bis name. He is 
well known in his state as one of its most 
prominent fruit-growers. He claims this 
as the best red raspberry In existence, 
it being superior in every respect to the 
old stand-by, Cuthbert, being larger, 
standing up and keeping fresh longer 
than any other berry. A seedling of 
Turner crossed with Cuthbert. The fruit 
is of a beautiful bright color, a good ship- 
per, and will yield 200 bushels per acre. 
Very hardy; the canes have not been 
known to suffer in the severest winters; 
has few thorns; berries cling to the stem, 
and do not crumble when picked. Sea- 
son late. The only further comment we 
have to make is that canes are vigorous 
and virtually thornless, the foliage lux- 
uriant and healthy. As judged by this 
season, the Loudon Is a hardier variety 
than Cuthbert. It is more prolific. The 
berries average larger and they are decid- 
edly firmer. They hold to the peduncle 
better. The color is a trifle brighter, and 
the quality fully as good. Price, 50 cts. 
per doz., $1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000.
