BLACKBERRIES 
Like the raspberry, this plant produces fruit on 
branches developed the previous summer; and when 
fruiting is over, these bearing branches or “‘canes,” 
which have borne fruit, are pruned out. 
Young branches which appeared during the season 
may be tied to stakes to keep them off the ground; 
they will bear next year. Plant 3 feet apart im rows.

94 Choice Berried Fruit 


CHOICE BERRIED FRUIT 

RASPBERRIES 
Succeed well on any good Jand but amply repay 
high cultivation. Red and yellow varieties should 
be planted in rows 6 feet apart and 3 feet apart in 
the rows; black- and purple-cap varieties 7 feet apart 
and 3 feet in the rows. Cut out all old wood as soon 
as the canes have done bearing—to give more vigor 
to young canes, produced during the current year; 
these you retain to yield fruit next season. 
All Raspberries, 2-yr. transplanted stock, 
25 cts. each, $2.75 per doz.

Currants and Gooseberries 
Plant in rows 6 feet apart, and 4 feet apart in 
the rows, or, if to be cultivated both ways, 5 
feet apart each way. The soil should be well 
cultivated. After planting cut back the tops 
one-half of the previous year’s growth. For the 
first four or frve years some of the wood made ° 
in the spring should be cut back in the fall, in 
order to make a more symmetrical plant and a 
greater number of fruit-buds. General Garden 
Fertilizer forked in each fall around base of 
plant will prove very beneficial.

STRAWBERRIES 
Are Easily Grown 
Rich soil, kept firm and with a plentiful supply of 
moisture, is desirable. Select potted plants and 
space them at 9-inch intervals in rows 2 feet apart 
in spring or Jate summer. 
eep the row well weeded at all times, and your 
hoeing must be very shal ow, because all feedin 
roots are close to the surface. Whiten the soi 
around the plants with Gencral Garden Fertilizer 
in November and May. Spread % inch of peat moss 
over both ground and plants in December, and brush 
it lightly off the leaves in April. . 
Strawberry plants produce daughter plants 
around the parent, and as care of a bed develops into 
routine, it is usual to retain daughter plants at ap- 
proximately 9 inches apart; in early autumn, trans- 
plant unwanted plants into new rows and destroy 
the year-old parents. 
Runners connecting plants should be cut as soon 
as young ones are rooted.
