Suggestions for Successful 
Raspberry Growing 
1. Plant dependable disease-free stock and 
maintain proper isolation from other diseased or 
wild plants. 
2. When setting out black raspberry tip plants 
always cut off the old stem (or ‘“‘handle’’) as 
growth will come from the crown of the plant. 
3. It is generally recommended that red and 
black Raspberries should not be grown within at 
least 20 rods of each other. An exception to this 
would be that our Logan Blackcap and Newburgh 
or Marcy Red Raspberries are sufficiently disease 
resistant that they can be planted side by side. 
4. Any plant showing any symptoms of disease 
should be promptly removed and burned. 
5. All Raspberry plants should be set very early 
in the spring. Better have us reserve your planting 
stock now and we will send to you at proper 
season. 
6. All Raspberry plants are benefited by liberal 
applications of manure, Sulphate of Ammonia or 
other Nitrogen fertilizer. 
7. To maintain bright clean thrifty canes and 
control Anthracnose use Dry Lime Sulphur 12 
pounds to 50 gallons water. Spray each spring 
while still dormant on buds just beginning to show 
green. When the tip plants are first set out cut 
off the old stems to the ground. 


















is an excellent quality berry, large, 
BRISTOL glossy and attractive. The bushes 
are hardy, vigorous and bear very heavy crops of the 
most delicious fruits. Although a comparatively new 
variety, Bristol has already taken a high ranking 
place among the best of the Blackcap Raspberries for 
both home and commercial planting. 
The first step in successful fruit culture is to 


Has Rapidly Gained Popularity as 
BRI STOL The Best Midseason Blackcap. 
Commercial growers from the New York and Michi- 
gan berry sections, down as far south as Oklahoma, 
highly praise this Bristol. It has proven to be very 
thrifty in growth and most productive and the very 
highest quality of all Blackcap varieties. We have 
found it to be widely adapted and producing heavy 
crops even in the semi south and southwest where heat 
and leaf spot are ruinous to other kinds. 
Unexcelled for Pies, Canning and Freezing. 
Early Planting is Best 
All Raspberries prefer a good well drained loam 
soil high in fertility and the best fruits: are pro- 
duced only when plenty of fertilizer, high in Nitro- 
gen, is supplied. Plant early in the spring just as 
soon as you would plant your early onions in the 
garden. Here in central Ohio this is the first of 
April. Prepare the ground carefully and in plant- 
ing be sure to firm the earth well around the roots 
with loose soil over the growing buds, so that the 
plant sets just a little deeper than it was in the 
nursery row. Cut the old woody canes off at the 
surface of the ground. The average planting dis- 
tance for all Raspberries is 3 feet apart in 6 foot 
rows. Do not permit the soil to bake or crust 
around the plants at any time. A mulch of good 
clean straw is desirable to hold a good even supply 
of moisture. 
All Raspberries thrive best in loose, well-drained 
loam soils which contain an abundance of humus. 
Old Bluegrass and Alfalfa sods, if plowed under a 
full year in advance of berry planting, provide an 
ideal soil condition.
