RASPBERRY CULTURE 
CHOICE AND PREPARATION OF SOIL 
Use a spot that has been cultivated at least one year. Rasp- 
berries like a medium to heavy soil, prepared well for good root 
growth. 
FERTILIZER 
Manure is your best fertilizer. Apply at the same rate as for 
strawberries before setting your plants. Raspberries should be 
fertilized with manure every spring as early as possible. 
SETTING PLANTS 
Set plants 2% feet apart in the row and the rows should be 
6 to 10 feet apart, depending on your cultivation methods. 
Make a hole to fit the roots, usually 4 to 6 inches deep and a 
foot in diameter for large roots. Spread out the roots and pack 
soil firmly over them. Remember your new plants come up from 
these roots, so do not bury too deep. 
PRUNING INSTRUCTIONS: VIKING AND SUNRISE 
Do not do any pruning until your bed is established or at least 
two years old. After that you will wish to cut out all old canes as 
soon as the crop is picked, leaving the new canes to bear the next 
year’s crop. 
PRUNING INSTRUCTIONS: DURHAM EVERBEARER 
This raspberry will ‘bear two crops every year. The new 
shoots that come out of the ground in the spring will bear a crop 
that same fall and again the next summer. After the summer crop, 
you will cut out the old canes, leaving the new young shoots to 
bear that fall. 
Durham Everbearer may be used as a one crop fall bearing 
raspberry. This is advantageous where insects are thriving, as you 
cut back the whole bed each fall and all your plants the next vear 
are young healthy ones which bear a tremendous fall crop.
