RASPBERRIES. 
To keep a raspberry bed in good productive condition, the old, weak and dead 
wood should be cut out every season, to give strength to the young shoots for the next 
year’s bearing. In spring the weakest suckers should be removed, leaving five or six 
of the strongest in each hill. The ground should be spaded and a top dressing of ma¬ 
nure given. 
Protection. To guard against injury by the Winter, the canes may be tied to 
stakes and covered with straw, or they may be laid down in the Autumn and covered 
with a few inches of earth, leaves, litter or branches of evergreen. 
They can be planted in the Fall or Spring with success. Black caps cannot be 
planted in tjie Fall. 
PRICE, 75 cents per dozen, except where noted.
