Black Raspberries 
The preparation of soil and fertilizer used is the same as for 
Red Raspberries. Plant Black Raspberries in rows 7 feet apart, 
setting plants 4 feet apart in the rows. When planted at the given 
distances it will require 1,555 plants to set an acre ; 
When new growth starts and has attained a height of 18 to 24 
inches, it is best to pinch the tips of the canes which causes each 
cane to throw off branches and grow upright. 
The spring following planting cut branches of each cane back 
to about 8 inches. After the plants have fruited, cut out all the 
old fruiting canes and burn them, thus giving new canes a chance 
to develop and produce a heavy crop of berries the next year. 
Cultivate Raspberries shallow during the entire season. This is not 
out of order during the period of harvesting the fruit. As a mat¬ 
ter of fact it is a decided advantage if weather conditions are dry 
during the fruiting season, because cultivation always brings up 
moisture and moisture gives you larger berries.

Red Bank, N. J. 
The Dorsett and Fairfax plants gave very good results. The 
berries were so good that we have increased our plantings of 
both varieties, and have discarded some of the older varieties 
because we consider these as far superior to the older ones.
