After preparing tlie soil same as for straw berries, make straight rows seven 
feet apart, and plant two and one-half or three feet in the row. The roots 
should be well spread out in their ntitural position, and the dirt well finned 
about the roots, but not planted too deep. Cultivate thoroughly, and keep free 
from weeds. 
A mulch of 
coarse manure, 
or green clover 
cut in the blos- 
som, will hold 
moisture, pre- 
vent weeds from 
growing, keep 
the ground rich, 
and the l>erries 
clean . W h e n 
new roots are 15 
or iS inches 
high, pinch 
them off. This 
will cause lat- 
erals to grow, 
which should 
l>e cut back in 
the spring to 12 
or 15 inches in 
length. When 
the fruit is gath- 
ered, cut out old 
and young weak 
canes and burn 
them .
