Red Raspberries on Town Lot.

Just a small patch of a good variety of red raspberry will afford fresh fruit for the table for many weeks. Some of the new varieties are ever-bearing. Perhaps one of the best is the Erskine Park. In setting out the plants first manure and spade the bed as for a garden. If the plants are trained to a wire trellis they can be set two feet apart. Six or eight plants will be sufficient for an average family and ought to produce at least a pint a day from ea<ti plant. By having so few plants, they can be watered and well cared for. Hand weeding about the plant is always the best way to cultivate raspberries. — Thrift Magizine.
