SMALL FRUITS AND ROOT PLANTS 
Culture of Small Fruits 
Bramble fruits like blackberries, raspberries, dew¬ 
berries, etc., should have all old wood (older than the 
previous season’s growth' cut out close to the ground 
each spring and past season’s growth should be 
trimmed back ta 3 or 4 feet in height. All old canes 
should be removed and should be burned. 
Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give good 
results. A strawberry bed should have a light coating 
two inches deep of coarse hay, or straw that is free 
from weed seed, after the ground has just frozen ; and 
in the spring just about the time growth starts, this 
covering should be raked between the rows and al¬ 
lowed to remain there until the fruit has been har¬ 
vested. Then it should be removed and cultivation be 
resumed.
