Raspberries. 
CULiTURE. — 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. I 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 before 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 'A 
feet ; do not let them get too high. By doing this you will dispense 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 gathered, cut out 
and burn all old wood and young canes but the best three. This 
destroys all insects and rust that may occur, and the canes make 
a much better growth. 
LOUDON. 
This new candidate for popular favor was originated in 
Wisconsin by F. W. Loudon, and hence it 
bears his name. He is well known in his 
state as one of the most prominent fruit-grow- 
ers. He claims this as the best Red Rasp- 
berry 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 shipper, 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. Season late. 
SUPERLATIVE. 
(KJew Red.) 
This is a new foreign variety, which we have thoroughly 
tested before offering to our patrons. Comparing it with all 
other varieties on our place, we have no hesitation in pro- 
nouncing it a splendid sort, and feel certain that it will take a 
prominent place with all fruit-growers for its merits alone. We have 
tested many European varieties, but never found one to equal this in 
size, productiveness or quality. It is one of the handsomest berries we 
know of, and will stand the severest winter without injury. Its firmness 
is very desirable in a berry of this class, and it can be shipped long 
distances in good condition. Its fine, attractive and handsome appear- 
ance adds greatly to its value. In quality it is one of the best, and all that could be desired in a good berry. 
Very desirable as a family or market berry ; notice its attractive shape.
