FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
RASPBERRIES 
Cultural Directions. —The same as for Blackberries 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. Cot¬ 
tonseed meal, pure ground bone, or fertilizers containing a good proportion of potash are best, and 
should be liberally 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.
