Blackberries 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS. Plant in rows C feet apart 
and 3 feet apart in rows. Any land suitable for wheat er 
corn growing will be good for Raspberries and Blackberries; 
occasional cultivating will highly increase the crop. Cut 
back the canes at planting time to within 6 inches from the 
ground, then draw about 2 inches of soil around the canes 
Level the ground as soon as the new sprouts come through 
Allow the canes to grow up to 4 feet high, then cut them 
off at that height. We raise our Blackberry plants from 
root cuttings which makes extra strong plants, much better 
than the cheap sucker plants sometimes offered for sale
