Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, 1913, Vol. 36 From four acres of red raspberries last season I sold almost one thousand dollars' worth of fruit. The bushes were set out in the spring of 1910 in rows seven feet and nine feet apart alternately and twenty inches apart in the row. In a large patch this is an advantage when getting out the old wood, as -a team and wagon can be driven down the nine foot rows and have the brush thrown on from the seven foot rows. The bushes were hoed and cultivated the first summer and made a fine growth before fall. In August the bushes were cut back to two feet and in October the bushes were strong and the canes large and they Wintered well. In the spring of 1911 the ground was hoed and cultivated and kept clean all summer. In spite of the severe drought of that season we picked feur thousand eight hundred baskets from the patch. The old wood was removed as soon as the crop was off and the new canes cut back to about two and a half feet and not over four canes left in a hill, three was the average.
