GROWING AND SELLING FRUIT. 
{Continued from page 289.') 
Raspberries. 
This is another fruit which pays well for growing as a rule, and 
is easily cultivated. Large fields of several acres in extent are 
grown in Kent for 'jam, and for the London markets, but there 
Is generally a good demand for Raspberries near any country 
town. 
Soil. —This suits them best if cool and moist all through the 
summer, and what is generally termed “ stiff loam,” such as grows 
strong wild Briars to perfection, is sure to suit them. They 
should not be fully exposed to the noonday sun. A piece of 
ground sloping to the north is best, although they will grow and 
ripen a moderate crop in almost any soil or position, unless 
very dry. 
Planting. —They should be planted at the same period as other 
•fruits. The young suckers or shoots sent up from the roots a short 
distance off during the preceding summer are the best for planting, 
and it does not matter about the tops being weak if they have 
plenty of good fibry roots. They should be planted in rows 5 feet 
apart and 2 feet between the plants, or single rows may be run 
through at intervals in a mixed plantation, as the inclination of the 
planter may direct. The cost of plants and planting at D feet 
between the rows would be about £24 per acre. 
Pruning and Tying. —Early in the spring, following plant¬ 
ing, the tops should all be cut off to within 2 inches of the 
around, as they ought never to bear any fruit whatever the first 
year, or the plants will die. They should not be cut down until all 
danger of severe frost is over or the whole plant may be killed. 
After this during the first summer they will throw up from one to 
four shoots, which should be reduced to two as soon as it is possible 
fo see which are the strongest. These should be encouraged to 
grow as strongly as possible by watering and mulching during the 
•summer, and early in the following spring before they commence 
Seating they should have their tops shortened. The length they are 
to be left will now depend upon the system they are to le grown 
under. In many very large plantations it is the custom io cue 
them back to or 3 feet in height, and not to use any supports 
for them ; but smaller quantities pay for attention in this respect, 
and are best secured by placing stout larch poles at intervals of 
every 20 feet up the rows. If these poles are dipped in creosote or 
gas tar they will last much longer. They should stand 5 feet above 
the ground, and go from 1^ to 2 feet below the surface. Galvanised 
wire should now be fastened the whole length of the row to these 
stakes by means of small staples, putting one wire within 4 inches 
of the top and another about 3 feet from the ground in places where 
the Raspberry is quite at home and grows to a good height ; but if 
the canes are not like'y to grow high enough to reach 4 inches 
above the top wire it must be fastened to the stakes at a less height 
from the ground to enable them to do so after about 1 foot has 
been cut off from them. They should be tied to each wire with 
twisted raffia, leaving room when tying for them to grow larger. As 
soon as all the fruit is gathered the old fruit-bearing canes should 
be cut out close to the ground, and any weak shoots also, leaving 
enough for tying-in 6 inches apart all along the wires. All shoots 
that are more than 4 inches on each side of the original sets or row 
should be chopped off when very young unless required for form¬ 
ing fresh plantations. 
Gathering and Marketing. —If required for dessert pur¬ 
poses or for cooking, Raspberries should be gathered in flat 1 lb. 
punnets like Strawberries, and sent to market in a large box as 
described for that fruit ; and if for preserving they should always 
be gathered without stalks, and put into glazed jars or crocks, and 
at once securely fastened up and sent to their destination. When 
the fruit is ripening, advantage should be taken of every fine day 
when the fruit is perfectly dry to gather all that are coloured 
before they get too soft. This fruit is one of the most difficult to 
market in good condition, and to prevent any of them being 
spoiled by rain. When gathered with the stems they should be 
worth Gd. per lb. wholesale, and for preserving purposes 4d. to 6d., 
according to the season and the crop. A piece of ground under 
my charge gave a crop last year (1888) at the rate of 1 ton 13 cwt.
