However, in most parts of the United States, the raspberry was found growing wild when the earliest inhabitants settled the country. Tlie Soil Best Adapted The raspberry will grow on almost any kind of soil, but has its likes and dislikes, and will succeed best on a rich, sandy jt clay loam, well drained and well fertil- ized. Yet there are adaptations of va- rieties in relation to soil and climate, which must be studied in order to reach the highest degree of success. A sodden soil, one that is sub-irrigated until it is habitually wet, or one where the water stands for any considerable time, is not adapted to raspberries. A heavy coating of barnyard manure will always increase the drought-resisting qualities of the soil as well as enrich the land. Propagation W. L. Howard, of Columbia, Mo., on the propagation of raspberries says: "There are three kinds of raspberries, the reds, the blackcaps and a cross (hybrid) between the two.
