RASPBERRY CULTURE 
Plant 2 or 3 feet apart with rows 4 to 6 feet apart. Prune 
slightly before planting. Most of our plants can be planted 
without additional pruning. Each year, shortly after fruit is 
picked, cut out all old growth at the ground and later cut off 
new growth at about 3 feet high. Four to six strong canes or 
branches make the best plant. 
BLACKBERRIES 
Blackberries grow best on fertile loam. The rows should 
be six feet apart with each plant approximately two feet apart 
in the row. 
ELDORADO—This is the sweetest of all blackberries. The 
berries are very large and bear in large clusters. The plants 
are very hardy. 
Prices: 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.00.
