. Biggle berry book [microform] : small fruit facts from bud to box conserved into understandable form. Fruit-culture. THE RASPHKRKY 73 sprout a short portion of the cross root from which it grew ; dig and set these in permanent rows in the early spring. Much of this digging, however, hurts a patch. Blackcap raspberries do not sucker from the roots and are propagated differently. Toward autumn when blackcap tips bend down near the ground, new plants can be easily started. Bend down and bury each tip a few inches beneath the ground, holding it in place by pegs, a stone, or the weight of a little heaped-up soil. Most of the tips, if not disturbed, will take root and form nice plants by next sprin^'^ ; at which time the parent canes can be severed a few inches from the new plants, and the latter can then be dug up and set out wherever desired. PLANTiNCi.—Red raspberry rows for horse culti- vation are usually made about six feet apart, plants spaced about two feet apart in the row (3,630 to the acre). The plants sucker and run together in the ^ row in a year or two, until there is a continuous hedge- row about a foot wide; plants which come up outside of this, or feeble or surplus plants, should be treated like weeds. For small garden or hoe culti- vation the rows might be a little closer together—say five feet. Blackcaps for horse culti- ^'''^*^^" may be Set in six-foot ROWS ABOUT SIX FEKT APART TOWS, a])out twoand one-half.
