RASPBERRY CULTURE 
Select a good piece of ground that is slightly elevated and prepare 
the soil thoroughly. It is advisable to spread the land with manure be- 
fore planting. Spring planting is considered the best in most sections. 
For hill system the usual distance to plant is 5 ft. by 5 ft. If the hedge 
system is desired, plant 3 ft. apart in rows which are 5 to 7 feet distant. 
Before planting, the tops should be cut back 6 inches or less, and plants 
should be set slightly deeper than they formerly grew. Cultivate fre- 
quently enough to retain moisture and kill weeks, but be sure not to 
cultivate over 2 to 3 inchess deep next to the plants. After the fruiting 
season remove all fruiting canes, cutting them close to the ground and 
burning them. Do not allow over 8 to 10 canes to grow to the plant. Re- 
move all weak canes and suckers, so as to throw all the strength into 
the young bearing canes. Topping canes in the early spring will strength- 
en the canes and aid in picking. Raspberries respond readily to fertile 
soil, and sufficient fertilizer or manure should be used to keep the soil 
in good fertile condition. 
BLACKBERRIES 
‘ ELDORADO 
A heavy yielding blackberry that spells success every- 
where. The heavy producing quality of Eldorado has placed 
it first among blackberries. About every good quality possessed 
by other blackberries is emphasized in Eldorado. It has a sweet 
fine flavor, shiny jet black and its berries are of enormous size. 
For home or commercial planting, it is equally good. They 
ripen just after the raspberry season when but little other 
fruit is available. They are the last of the spring and summer 
berries and the trade is willing to pay well for them. 
Its sturdiness and freedom from disease, especially orange 
rust, the common enemy of all blackberries, has made Eldorado 
the leading variety with commercial growers.
