BLACKBERRIES and DEWBERRIES 
Planting 
Blackberry and dewberry plants should be planted 
about the same as tomato or potato slips, but deeper. 
The ground should be plowed and harrowed or spaded 
up, in the best condition possible. In large plantings, 
furrows may be made and cross checked with plow. 
The plants should be set deeper than they were in 
the nursery, leaving only a part of the top above 
ground. There is not much danger of getting the 
plants too deep. It will always pay to give a quart 
or more of water to each plant, even though soil may 
be moist at the time. After giving the water, place 
dry soil over the wet and bring almost to the top of 
the plants. 
For a large. planting, as soon as the shoots begin 
to grow, a heavy drag may be run over the rows to 
kill the first crop of weeds. 
Pruning 
Tops of plants should be cut back to about three 
or four inches above the roots before planting. It is 
best to set the plants in a bed slightly raised above 
the level of the ground.
