The Cultivation of Fruits

refuse and leaf mould, 4 in. thick and 2 ft. on either side 
of the plants, should be given. Another method of growing 
Raspberries is to plant two young canes against a stout 
post, previously driven into the ground, and to tie the 
young canes round the post. Such pillars may be 6 ft. 
apart one way and 4 ft. the other. The canes may be 
treated in the same method as advised for fence training. 
The market gardener, 
however, has not the 
time to devote to 
the canes that the 
amateur has. His 
method is to plant 
the canes in rows 
about 4 ft. apart and 
4 ft. between the 
plants. He then 
takes two or three 
canes from one plant, 
and two or three 
from the next one, bending them so as to overlap each 
other, and thus to form small arches. The young fruit- 
ing branches spring from the canes on the upper side, and 
are thus held in position. At other times, the canes are 
cut well back to within 2 ft. of the ground, in spring, thus 
enabling them to support branches with fruit without any 
assistance. Of course, neither of these latter methods 
will produce fruit of such good quality, nor in such quan- 
tities, as those previously mentioned.
