MANAGEMENT. The canes are iu rows six feet apart, while the plants are about five leet apart iu -the row. This renders culti- vation with the horse-hoe compara- iivelv easy, and thorough cultivation is earned on during the summer so as to keep down weeds and render the soil loose and friable. In summer, im-'Mg the time of growth, the young cams are iiept cut back to about two feet so as to encourage a bushy habit. The plot ib manured at least every aco'.id year. We have pruned in the spriiij, believing that au advantage is gaiui J iu leaving the old canes through the winter with a view to their assist ing m holding the snow arouud the bushes, and thus serving as a protec- tioH ilia climate comparatively severe. Early in the spring the old canes arc cut cue and the number of (;:iiies la each lull reduced to not more than six iuii;;:lly four) iind cut back to a.bout liiitijl in 1( iiycli.

Results of Cutivation. licd. â€" Cuthbert has proved to be by far the best with us. Thouiih some- what tender, it has stood our severe climatic conditions w^U and proved itsell to be prolific, large, good color, firm and of delicious flavor. The se?erG winter of 1 886-87 injured many of the canes. It is soniewJiat late but extends the time of berries, and ;s a variety winch should be found iu every rasberry plot. Growing side by iwe v,-i:h the Philadelphia, an exoell- cEt opportunity is found for com- parison ami. as, from time to time Thornless, though killed badly, has proved to be a strong grower and has furnished some good fruit. Gregg is a little later in season and has "also suttered. but has yielded a fine, large, firm berry. Mammotli Cluster has killed out very much It is medium early. Sunders' Hybrides have prov- ed themselves to be prolific the berries are inclined to be soft a good flavor, but is very poor color Deing a cross between the Eed and Black, they have the color of neither the one nor of the other, but a soft and moul- dy-like appearance. This no doubt • would effect their sale, but for home use these berries are worthy of a good place. They seem to possess the flav- or of black more than red b*rries. White.â€" Caroline has been fairly prolific and comparatively hardy. CONCLUSIONS. 1. We have been very successful in obtaining a satisfactory yield from red raspberries, especially the first men- 1 tioned on the list. ' 2. We are inclined to believe that leaving the old canes till 'spring aids m keeping the snow about the hills and thus serves as a protection during the winter months. 3. Our climate is rather severe on black varieties. 4. Ground for raspberries should be well drained and thoroughly cultiv ated. 5. The best red varieties are Cuth- bert, Philadelphia and Turner; of Black Greg?r, Mammoth Cluster and Sunders' Hylnide (57) of White the Caroline. These make up a collection likely to do well in most places in Outario. 6. Farmers, with a little care and a small amiunt of labor, might easily grow raspberries tor home use and thus save many a toil«?ome tramp and weary hours to members of their household who strive to gather wild raspberries from patches where fruit is obtained under most adverse con ditions.
