At the single and dozen prices we prepay mail or express charges. 
Hundred and thousand lots by express or freight, charges not prepaid. 
Blackcaps, and others that increase from the ends of the canes,should be planted 
three and a half by seven feet. Keep the soil loose and free from weeds. When 
the canes attain the height of one foot, pinch off the ends; this causes the canes 
to branch, grow stocky and self-supporting. In the spring of the bearing year 
cut these back to within six inches of the main stalk. After fruiting, cut out 
all the dead wood. Red Raspberries and all ethers that sucker, should be set five 
by three and a half feet apart, when they must be cultivated both ways. Allow 
only three or four canes in each hill; treat all others as weeds. For garden 
culture set red varieties three feet apart each way. Caps four by three feet.
