Reid's Catalogue of Small Fruits, Etc. 13 Raspberries. CULTURE.—After preparing the soil the same as for strawberries, make Straight rows seven feet apart, and plant three feet in the row. Only mark one row at a time, and plant when ground is moist. After setting, press the soil firmly about the roots with your feet ; this is very essential; work as you would corn and potatoes, and do not let any ridge work about the row. I cultivate with the Planet Jr. horse hoe, and practice level culture. You can plant anything that will not shade them between the rows the first year. If manure is plenty and you can get it, spread on the ground before plowing the first year, as it adds greatly to the crop. The ends should be pinched out of the young canes when one foot high the first year, and when one and one- half feet the second ; do not let them get too high. By doing this you will dispense with stakes and wire. The pruning should be done in spring, when the leaves begin to show themselves. Cut the laterals on an average from six to twelve inches in length. When the fruit is all gathered, cut out and burn all old wood and young canes but the three best. This destroys all insects and rust that may occur, and palmer raspberry. the canes make a much better growth. NEW VARIETIES. PALMER. The Palmer has been tested from the Atlantic to the Pacific, receiving the highest commenda- tion from all sources, and is fully established as the best and most productive early Black Cap yet introduced. We had the honor of introducing this valuable new berry, and it made quite a record the past year. W. J. Green, horticulturist at the Ohio Station, says the following of the new varieties recommended for general planting—Palmer, Muskingum and Hilborn :
