Raspberries — continued. 
Planting is best carried out as soon as possible after tlie leaves have 
fallen On a shallow or very heavy soil, planting should be done on le 
surface the roots being covered by a slight mound The canes should e 
staked as soon as planted, as the wind is liable to loosenf ** ^ an(1 t * 
pruning of newly planted canes should be deferred till February and its 
extent will depend upon the vigour of the cane and the amount of root it 
possesses In the case of defective roots and of thin growth, it should be 
?u down to within a few inches of the ground. Where roots are abundant 
and the growth vigorous, 2 to 3 feet might occasional!) be left. 
Anv disturbances in the soil among Raspberries should ta k e place as 
,,,. r iv 'in the vear as possible. The annual surface roots, which are 
but thinlv covered with soil, begin to grow as a rule in the ^r'will" the 
March, and the less they are disturbed the stronger and better 
canes be.
