Dear Sirs: 
The raspberries we 
got from you this 
spring are certainly 
wonderful. They have 
produced over 10 ats. 
of berries and are 
still bearing. They 
are the finest berries 
we have ever had. We 
have the finest straw- 
berry patch we have 
ever seen. Every plant 
grew. 
We can’t praise your 
plants and trees 
enough. I want to 
get some more from 
you in the spring. 
Please send me an- 
other catalog. I gave 
mine to my father. 
Thank you.

PLANTING AND PRUNING 

Nort 
\ichmond 
On arrival of stock, plant at once if possible; if not, remove from packing, wet down well 
and heel in, in mellow soil, packing dirt firmly about roots; but plant as soon as possible. 
expose roots to sun or wind as stock so exposed is not liable to grow. 
Prune all bruised or broken roots with a sharp knife.

or five branches, suitable for forming a top. 
of the body or in other words about three-fourths of the growth. 
be cut off and cut back like a cane. 
for best results. 
AGE OF BEARING—DISTANCE TO PLANT 
As the age of bearing depends so much upon 
variety, soil, climatic conditions and care given, 
this can only be an approximate table under 
average conditions. To ascertain the number of 
trees or plants required for any given space, 
multiply the length of the space by the breadth 
to ascertain the number of square feet contained 
therein. Then multiply the distance apart you 
intend to set your rows by the distance between 
each tree or plant in the row to get the number 
of square feet each tree or plant will take. Divide 
the number of square feet in the given space by 
the number of square feet each tree will require 
and the result is the quantity of trees or plants 
required for that given space. 
In planting make holes large so as not to crowd roots. 
in and plant as firmly as possible, pressing down soil well with the feet. 
planting is better than digging holes with a shovel.
