RASPBERRIES 
The kind of small fruits, a fruit that should be planted by 
almost everyone, essential in the small lot and decidedly 
profitable for the commercial grower. Delicious when eaten 
raw and a favorite for canning and preserves. Raspberries 
should be planted in rows 5 to 6 feet apart and about 4 feet 
apart in the row; a good loam soil is generally the best soil in 
which to plant them. Cround should be kept well cultivated, 
free from weeks. Most of suckers should be kept cut out, old 
canes should be removed immediately after bearing season.
