FIELD CULTURE 
BLACKBERRIES AND DEWBERRIES 
Plant in rows 7 feet apart with plants set 4 feet 
apart in the rows (1,555 plants to set an acre at 
given distances). 
Plow a furrow about 5 or 6 inches deep or dig 
holes 6 inches deep and 6 inches square. Spread 
roots, fill hole with soil; firm well. Cut stock after 
planting approximately 2 inches above ground 
level. Let them grow and the following spring cut 
the new growth back one-third, leaving two-thirds 
of the season's growth for production of berries. 
After they have fruited cut all fruiting canes out 
and burn them. Cultivate occasionally and follow 
same procedure each year, allowing about 6 to 10 
canes on each plant to stand for fruiting each 
season.

HOW TO GROW RASPBERRIES 
SUCCESSFULLY 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS—RED RASPBERRIES 
Two methods of culture are commonly used, the hill system 
and the solid row system. Under the first system plants are 
usually set five feet apart each way while under the second 
system they are set thee feet apart in rows seven feet apart. 
Place plants in hole or furrow, spread roots, fill to ground level, 
and press soil firmly. After planting, cut all canes back to 2 
or 3 inches above the ground level. The following spring, be- 
fore growth starts, prune canes back to a length of about three 
feet. After fruiting season cut out all fruiting canes and burn 
them to destroy any disease or insects. Future year’s growth 
should be confined to six or eight strong canes to each flant, 
following same procedure year after year.

BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Two methods of culture are commonly used, the hill system 
and the solid row system. Under the first system plants are 
usually set 6 feet apart each way while under the second sys- 
tem they are set 4 feet apart in rows 7 feet apart. Place plants 
in hole or furrow; spread roots, fill to ground level, and press 
soil firmly. After planting cut all canes back to 2 or 3 inches 
above the ground level. When new growth starts and has at- 
tained 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. All lateral branches should be cut back severely, 
leaving from 6 to 8 inches of cane. Weak spindling canes are © 
cut out entirely. The following spring before growth starts, 
prune canes back to a length of about 3 feet. Cultivate Rasp- 
berries shallow during the entire season but do not continue 
beyond picking season, as late growth will not mature suffi- 
ciently to withstand the winter.
