Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue and Price-List of Fruits and Ornamentals, 1895
This fruit is growing in favor every year. The introduction of hardy varieties of good quality has much to do with this. The early varieties begin to ripen with the last of the strawberries, while the late varieties hold out till the blackberries begin to ripen, so that by planting several varieties there need not be a day that the table cannot be supplied with fresh berries.
Plant the cap varieties seven feet by about three feet and keep thoroughly cultivated, but do not cultivate deep. Pinch off the tip of the canes, when about one foot high, the first season, and after the first year when from two to two and one-half feet high. This makes 'the canes stocky and does away with the necessity of tying up the canes. The sucker varieties can be planted six feet by about two feet and allowed to form hedge rows, or they can be planted 4x5 feet and kept in hills, not allowing more than five or six canes to the hill. The latter is probably the better plan.
