CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS 
Planting distances, pruning, and general culture same as for Red Raspberries (see page 7). 
Keep suckers thinned out to not closer than 8 to 10 inches apart to insure ample space for fruiting 
canes and which will result in finer larger berries. 
All bramble fruits profit by applications of commercial fertilizers containing plenty of Nitrogen, or 
well rotted manure in early Spring. Soils with plenty of humus are always best for Small Fruits. 
Sulphur or Fermate dusts or liquid sprays during or just prior to early spring rains prevent leaf spot 
and are an aid in control of orange rust. Remove any plants showing disease and burn them immediately.
