DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS 13 AN OLD PROVERB, SO MESSRS Morrow, Bassett & Co. TfTANT ALL OWNERS OF MoOORMIOK REAPERS AND BINDERS i To bring them into their Yard at once, they require any repairs done to them foe the coming season, and so save th« rash having them done at the laßt moment. All work done is of the highest quality, to be ia keeping with the KI2JG OF HARVESTERS, THE McCORMICK. M. PRIEST, Manager. REMOVAL NOTICE.



FOR SALE. I have for Sale, in blocks of 2 acres, excellent land for the cultivation of the Raspberry ; in a good position, and on very reasonable terms, viz., 10 per cent deposit, 15 per cent in one year, balance bearin. interest at 4£ per cent for a term of years, F. FERRIMAN



The depth at which the roots are seb depends a great deal on the nature of the soil, but shallow rather than deep planting should be the rule,' This because the Raspberry roots deeply with the lower tier of roots, and seems by the nature of the upper, more fibrous, parts to delight in running just under the surface. The long thong like roots steady the plant into position, while thote nearer the surface collect food and moisture. For this reason they should be kept up, well spread out, and as far as possible kept always moist. Tn early spring these planting canes should be cut down to within a few inches of the surface, and as soon as strong sucker-like growths appear from the base the little lateral shoots may be rubbea quite out, even from the few joints left. The care of the grower will he by all reasonable means to ensure a strong, healthy, and clear growth, that in the succeeding season will carry a fair crop of fruit. The second season, if properly treated, a very heavy crop will be gathered, and after this tho plants should go on improving for several years. Pruning consists, of course, In taking out the old wood after fruiting, and co thinning the number of young shoots annually that there is no crowding on the trellis. The old canes are best removed directly the fruit Is taken, the additional room being useful, allowing the sun and air to enter freely and thoroughly ripen the young canes. A heavier crop of fruit may la some instances be gathered by topping the young canes to different lengths in spring, not indiscriminately as they come, but leaving the stronger canes a foot or even more longer than shorter or imperfectly ripened ones. A more regular supply of fruit down the trellis and a heavier crop, owing to each separate cane being taken at the most suitable height, result,- -Gardm,



g. FERRIMAJN. RASPBERRY GROWING. I\ / iIILE no fi uit pays bofct er for good * f culture tiian the Ra- pben y, the fair results produced by an amateur cr oegintier with a few old stools or rows at his command show that i' Is easily grown- The let-alone pan, in fact, is so satis factory to a certain extent that no fruit ia more likely to be neglected year after I year, th>i gathering of the fruit and thin tng out of the old canes boirg all the attention iht y rec ive in many places. The soli in which ihay are grown h*B a 1 t to do with continoed success, and a fairly litavy yet Will drained soil cannot easily be beatan. liven in gardens of ■erne pretentious there is a disposition to fight bby of disturbing old raspberry quarters and planting new ones, yet if gone about, in the proper way and at the correct season the wouk is as easy and the result is as sure as making a new Btraw berry bed. 'J he buckers that spring up at s me distance from the older stems are the most easily detached and the best for planting, and the safest time for the work is early autumn while there i 8 plenty of warmth in the soil and yet little fear of long continued drought. tor private gardens there are ma' y suitable methods of training, bat I ques tion if any give less trouble than a wire at about three fact from the ground, the canes being planted a foot apart and tl d to the wire. When much exposed, two wires are besi\ one at 2 feet from the ground, ihe other at 4 feet, this steadying the canes, which may be allowed to ran higher than the top wire if the lines are sei; a good distance apart. Tha iar;d, of course, will have been in order long enough to have got nicely settled, and planting mv.st be followed by a mulch of short manure.
