° Spring planting is best. 
Raspberries, Black piant them so the roots 
are covered with about 2 inches of dirt. Dig the hole 
plenty big so that you can spread the roots out. Do 
not bunch the roots all in a ball, spread them out 
naturally. Plant them as early as possible, just as 
soon as the ground is in condition to work. Prune 
same as red raspberries. Plant 3 to 4 feet apart in 
the row, the rows 6 to 7 feet apart.

PRUNING. Immediately after fruiting, the old canes 
should be cut off at the ground, removed from the 
patch and burned. Then give the patch a thorough 
cultivation. When the new canes are from 2 to 2% 
feet high pinch off the tips, causing the cane to 
branch out. 
Do not pinch off the tips of the new canes of Indian 
Summer, as they will bear fruit in the fall. The fol- 
lowing spring cut back the canes to 30 or 36 inches 
in height. - 
Plant 3 to 4 feet apart with the crown 
Rhubarb 2 inches below ground level. In the fall 
mulch with manure and in the spring dig this manure 
into the ground, as Rhubarb is a strong grower, and 
the richer the ground, the larger the stalks and the 
better results you will get. Plant spring or fall. 
R oses Growing Roses is a thrilling pastime. Your 
success and ‘satisfaction will depend on the 
common sense and careful effort you put into it. Al- 
ways plant early in the spring, aS soon as the ground 
is workable. Follow directions carefully and give your 
Roses natural and careful A a Lee as any good gar- 
dener would. 
Select a location where your Roses will get at least 
five to seven hours of sunlight daily. If you can get 
protection from the hot summer winds, and hot after- 
noon sun, this will also help. 
Roses must be planted in well-drained, ordinary, 
good garden soil. Prepare the soil in advance, if pos- 
sible. Spade the ground deep and work in some well 
rotted barnyard manure if available. 
On arrival of your plants, unpack them and set the 
‘roots in a bucket of water for 24 hours; they will 
start so much quicker. We recommend using RA- 
PID-GRO (see back cover). 
Plant so the bud, where 
green top joins brown root, 
m™is 1% inches below ground 
tion. Plant as directed in 
the main planting paragraph 
on page 4 except when you 
put in dirt to fill up hole 
after water has settled, put 
on enough dirt to completely cover the rose tops, just 
like the gopher mound as shown in illustration. Leave 
this mound of dirt until new growth starts, which is 
generally about three weeks. Then rake away the dirt 
gradually. ;
