Raspberries |

| The
culture of the raspberry is almost identical with that
of the blackberry, except that they may be planted one-third
closer, and that in some sections the raspberry is not
quite so hardy, and it is better to take the precaution
of laying the shoots down close to the ground in the fall,
being careful not to break them, and covering them up
with corn stalks, straw, leaves or litter. |

This
should not be done, however, until the weather is quite
cold, say, in the latitude of New York, the first week
of December. The covering may be from three to six inches
thick, and should not be removed in the spring until the
middle of April, as, if removed too soon, the shoots,
which would then be beginning to start, might be hurt
by the late spring frosts.
