. The American farmer's hand-book ... Agriculture. 302 farmer's hand-book. Fig. Portugal. — This variety is more juicy, less harsh, better colored and flavored, than the two preceding. Fruit large, oblong ; color mild yellow; not very productive. A very superior variety, though not so much raised as it deserves. Remarks. — There are two or three ornamental varieties, but they are not of sufficient importance to be described at length. THE RASPBERRY. Propagation, <SjC. — The only mode of propagation is by suckers, except by seeds, which is only resorted to for new varieties. The suckers are separated in autumn, either by taking up the whole plant and dividing it, or by slipping them off from the sides and roots of the main stock. They may be planted at once where they are permanently to remain, in rows from north to south, four feet apart every way. They will grow in any good garden soil, but it is most prolific in fruit, and the fruit is better flavored, in a dry, substantial soil, and an open situation. In making a plantation, three or more suckers are allowed to each stool, and planted in a triangle at six inches apart. The plants will produce fruit the first year;.
