At the same time, all superfluous young canes should be removed. Four or five canes are enough to be left to each stool : any more will not increase the amount of the crop, and will draw the nourishment from the others. The pruning of the bushes them- selves should be done very closely, as the small, weak ends of the canes will not yield much fruit, and yet they withdraw strength from the bearing buds. These should be cut back to where the buds are strong and well devel- oped ; and the side branches should also be cut back in the same way as the canes, leaving short stubs from three to four inches in length. Both black- caps, and red raspberries, the Cuthbert especially, may be treated in this way. The method will be better understood from the accompanying engraving (Fig. 36) than from a whole paragraph of reading Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original St. Catharines, E.
