SMALL FRUITS This term usually applies to the berry fam- ily — Blackberries, Raspberries. Currants, Gooseberries, Strawberries, etc. The whole Pacific slope, wherever fruit soils and suffi- cient moisture prevail is adapted to their suc- cessful culture. In California there is almost a continuous growth and intermittent crop- ping can be carried on almost during the en- tire year. The preparation of the soil should be thorough. The roots being close to the top of the ground and of small, rather fibrous na- ture, the importance of having the soil in the very best possible condition to insure a good stand of plants and a satisfactory growth must be apparent to anyone engaging in the culture of berry plants. Thorough dressing with well-rotted stable manure will do much to promote a vigorous growth the first sea- son, and having secured this, profitable crops may be expected the second year after plant- ing. Logan, Mammoth and Himalaya Black- berries are practically in a class by them- selves, and the cultural directions for one apply to the other, so we will consider them under the same head. They should be planted in rows six feet apart and eight to ten feet between the rows. The best results are obtained by trellising the runners to wires on heavy posts which will hold the wire taut. As soon as the fruiting season is past the fruiting canes should be cut away and the new canes be bunched together and wound around the wire. At least two wires should be strung on the posts, so that as soon as one wire is covered the remaining canes may be wound around the other. The Dewberry, or trailing blackberry is very popular. They are enormous croppers, produce fruit of the very best quality, which ripens fully two weeks earlier than any of the blackberries. Plants should be set four feet apart, with the r
