Raspberries 
Raspberries succeed best in a rich, mellow soil. They 
are easily cultivated, only requiring fertilizing and cut' 
ting out of dead wood and suckers. 
FOR GARDEN CULTURE 
For garden culture, raspberries may be planted about 
four feet apart each way and tied up to stakes. 
For field culture, plant in rows six or seven feet apart 
and two and one'half to three feet in the row, and set 
two to five inches deep, according to the nature of soil. 
In fall or spring following, trim canes back to within 
one or two feet of crown, according to growth they have 
made. About June, when young canes have made a 
growth of from one and one'half to two feet, pinch off 
ends to make them throw out laterals. This makes them 
stocky and able to resist high winds. After fruiting, 
remove all old wood, as the new canes need all the room 
and should have all the strength the root is able to 
furnish.
