Raspberries 
— Raspberry Growing — 
1. Plant early and set only dependable distase- 
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. : 
4. Any plant showing any snp ces of disease 
should be promptly removed and burned. | 
5. Mulch around the canes whenever possible 
and follow a system of clean cultivation or 
mulch throughout the growing season. 
6. All Raspberry plants are benefited by liberal 
applications of manure, Sulphate of Ammonia 
or other Nitrogen fertilizer applied as a side 
ee each spring throughout the life of the 
planting. 
7. To control Anthracnose use Dry Lime Sul- 
phur 12 pounds to 50 gallons water. epray. each 
spring while still dormant on buds just beginning 
to show green, This should be followed with 
Fermate, either liquid eptay or dust, for several 
applications at two-week intervals.

\Sodus 
New Large Purple Raspberry 
Considered heaviest yielding 
of all Raspberries 
Attractive, firm, sprightly and good quality. 
Picks easily and does not crumble. Plants 
are hardy, vigorous, very productive 
of heavy annual crops. 
Heaviest Yielding—To our knowl- 
edge Sodus is the heaviest yielding of 
all Raspberries. 
Drouth Resistant —Sodus with- 
stands drouth, heat, and other ad- 
verse weather conditions 
and comes through with a 
crop when most varieties of 
Raspberries fail.

Marion 
Largest of all Raspberries 
Very large, late purple Raspberry to 
follow Sodus in season of ripening. The 
berries are very large, holding up well in 
size throughout the season, moderately 
juicy, firm, tart, and good in quality. 
The fruits tend to cling to the bushes 
but not so much as to be objectionable. 
Marion is the largest of all the purple 
Raspberries and possibly the largest of all 
raspberries we offer. 
We consider Sodus the best all around pur- 
ple Raspberry. Marion is larger in size and a 
beautiful berry—follows Sodus in season and 
is perhaps the largest of all Raspberries. 
Special Suggestions for 
Red Raspberries 
1, Prune fruiting canes back approximately 
one-fourth of their total length during late 
winter, Thin out weaker sprouts, leaving 
strong fruiting canes 6 to 8 inches apart in 
the “hedgerow.” Be sure to take out old fruit- 
ing canes after harvest. 
ee foliage with sulphur to control leaf 
spot. 
3. Cultivate thoroughly or mulch to retain 
moisture and keep weeds down: Check 
growth during August to mature wood that it 
may escape winter injury.
