gether and in place. “The new canes come up among the old ones or 
else grow on the ground. The posts which support the wires are 
about 7 feet in length, set 5 feet above ground at from 30 to 50 feet 
apart. In this and other systems the wires may be attached directly 
to the posts or to crosspieces or arms, the wires being all the way 
from 10 to 16 inches apart. Either one or two sets of wires are used, 
the top wires being placed from 4 to 5 feet from the ground, the 
second set from 24 to 30 inches. 
The weaving system may be used with either one or two sets of 
wires. Where two are used the old canes are wound three or more 
at a time along one of the top wires, the lower wires being used 
to hold the new canes in place and out of the way of the old ones. 
Fig. 4.—Red raspberries at Sumner, Wash., trained in accordance with the upright sys- 
tem. <All surplus canes have been cut out of the hills and all remaining canes 
topped. 
There are a great many variations in this system, from those having 
only one wire along which to wind the old canes and with none to 
hold the new ones off the ground and free from the old canes to 
another method where the canes are not woven in as above described 
but are arched over the top wire two or three at a time and tied to 
the lower wire, the lower wires in such cases being about 48 inches 
and the top wire 60 inches from the ground. Several variations in 
the weaving system are shown in Figure 5, where the canes are all 
woven together three or more at a time along the top wire, in Figure 
6, where they are woven in a similar way except that they are ‘tied 
again to the adjoining canes, and in Figure 7, where they are wound 
over a top wire and tied to a lower wire,
