Insects and Diseases.—Cane-borers, gall- beetles, tree crickets and similar insects that infest raspberry canes are difficult to combat with sprays ; however, the prompt cutting out and burning of old, dead and infested canes wil usually keep these enemies in check. A little worm, the larvae of a black saw-fly, sometimes feeds upon the leaves; hellebore or arsenate of lead sprays will kill it. A
. Biggle berry book; small fruit facts from bud to box conserved into understandable form. Fruit-culture. THE RASPBERRY n. from end posts, either using double wires or tying the canes to a single wire. Insects and Diseases.—Cane-borers, gall- beetles, tree crickets and similar insects that infest raspberry canes are difficult to combat with sprays ; however, the prompt cutting out and burning of old, dead and infested canes wil usually keep these enemies in check. A little worm, the larvae of a black saw-fly, sometimes feeds upon the leaves; hellebore or arsenate of lead sprays will kill it. Anthracnose (purplish or scabby patches on the canes) is a fungous trouble ; spray with the Bordeaux mixture and promptly destroy canes after fruiting. Red rust (powdery, orange-red places on leaves, etc.) is a very common trouble ; dig out in- fested plants—root and branch—whenever seen, and burn ; be careful not to scatter the dust on healthy bushes ; early sprayings with Bordeaux may help a little. After-Care. —Annually the ground should be fer- tilized with well-rotted stable manure, applied along the rows, supplemented with a generous application of ground bone and wood ashes or ground bone and muriate of potash. The ground bone may be as much as 600 pounds to the acre, and the muriate of THESE RASPBERRY CANES WERE PRUNED RIGHT AND NEED NO SUPPORTS.
