Three Splendid Varieties for 
The growing of Raspberries of the better varieties is and has been profit¬ 
able for years in many sections of this country. Any plot of soil that pro¬ 
duces garden, truck or farm crops will produce good Raspberries. There¬ 
fore, no home owner with sufficient garden space should be without this luscious fruit. A few plants will 
furnish the family with an abundance of berries during the fruiting season, and for preserving that they 
may be available until the season of ripening comes again.

Cultural Directions 
Red Raspberries 
For Red Raspberries, prepare soil same as for 
other truck crops; plant 3 feet apart in rows 7 feet 
apart. Dig holes 6 inches deep and 6 inches in 
diameter. (May be planted closer for garden pur¬ 
poses when soil is fertile and limited). Place plant 
in the hole, or furrow, which is just as satisfactory, 
spread roots, fill to ground level or a little above. 
Press soil firmly. After planting, cut all canes back 
to 2 or 3 inches above ground level. The following 
spring, before growth starts, prune canes back to a 
length of about 3 feet. After fruiting season cut out 
all fruiting canes to ground level or an inch or so 
above. Burn the canes to destroy any diseases or 
insects. New canes will grow much better if this is 
done as early as possible after fruiting season. Fu¬ 
ture years’ growth should be confined to six or eight 
strong canes to each plant, following same proced¬ 
ure year after year.
