The first things to re-member then is cut out old canes as soon as they havefruited. This is better done as soon as possible after thecrop is picked, though it may be deferred to fall orwinter. Most varieties are over prolific in the pro-duction of new canes, and all but four or five should becut out to the ground. Those saved for fruiting nextyear should, if they are to support themselves, be cut 40 back when three to five feet high. If they are supportedthey can make full growth and be cut back in the varieties, especially most of the black rasp-berries or black caps, fruit on the lateral or sideshoots thrown out by the main canes, and these shouldbe pruned back a third to a half early in the sum up, in pruning
