DEWBERRIES 
Cultural Directions. — Use short, stout stakes, 
driven at the end of each row of canes, with a cross¬ 
piece, 18 inches long, nailed to each stake, 2}^ to 3 
feet from the ground. On the top, near each end of 
these cross-pieces, drive a stout nail slanting toward 
the stake, upon which to catch a wire. Two lines of 
No. 14 galvanized wire, one on each side of the row, 
are fastened to one of the end stakes and run on the 
ground between the rows to the other end stake. 
These wires are now drawn as taut as possible and 
securely fastened to the other end of the row. The 
wires are now raised, and caught in the nails, thus 
holding all the canes closely together in the row. 
All Dewberries should be mulched, to keep the 
berries from the ground. 
Austin’s Improved. Fruit very large, subacid, vinous, 
but of second quality. Enormous bearer. The most 
productive market variety we have ever grown, and

vigorous grower, and stands our hottest summers 
perfectly. Free from rust.

berries. In size and quality it equals any of the tall- 
growing sorts. Hardy and very productive, with

RASPBERRIES 
Cultural Directions. —The same as for Black¬ 
berries and Dewberries. These thrive best in a deep, 
moist, well-drained soil; the lighter loams are best 
for the red, and the heavy loams for the blackcaps. 
To make a success of Raspberries, the land should 
be able to withstand drought well. Cottonseed meal, 
pure ground bone, or fertilizers containing a good 
proportion of potash are best, and should be liber¬ 
ally applied during the winter and early spring. To 
get the best results and keep the plants in vigorous 
condition, they must be mulched heavily with straw 
or leaves.
