RAsPBERRIEA AND BLACK CAPS
The great trouble with the cultivation
Of the common FaspbeEries, even when
they pass the winter safely by being
protected or otherwise, is that the
manner Of growth is not understood
In private gardens we frequently see
the raspberry bed a dense thicket,
with new canes stfdgg Cling with the old
ones, and all in an uninTitIng and un-
fruitful condition. The majority Of
rTivate growers do not seem to be
aware that the stems of the raspberry
are biennial, l. e., they grow one year
and bear fruit the next, and then die.
With some of the varieties called ever
bearing. the young growth flowers and
fruits IA the atttuinr Of the same year.
When a raspberry cane of the ordina--
rv kind has fruited. II is no longer OF
any use, and should be dat ont. The
large cultivatOrs usually leave the
rr1niug out Of the old canes 5htil the
tfne ~ cover them, but it is much
better to remove them as soon as fruit
ING Is over, to allow the new growth
nIenfv OF room. Those who plant
Easn6orries this spring, and wish the
hest results, should cut the old canes
back TO a few inches, leaving enough
tn serve as q convenient handle N
planting, and look to the new growth
Of this year to produce fruit the next.
IF the canes be left their full length
at transplanting, a poor crop OF fruit
NAV Be had the first season, at the risk
of the fFture good of the plants. The
plauts are set four feet apart each way
for the more moderate growers, and
the taller kinds five or six feet apart.
The varieties are numerous, and every
year brings additions to the list
Alnn0 the Hudson river, the Hudson
River Antwerp is the great markei
berry La Southern New Jersey, tht
Philadelphia is the profitable market
fruit, and at the West, the Purple
Cane enjoys great popularity. ChOicl
sorts for garden culture are: BTinck
les Orange. Franconia, Clark, (said t

Yhe Black Caps, of which there ar
many named varieties, are becOmin
very popular. Though not to be com

WHITEWAsH.-This article, as or
dinarily made, rubs off the walls after
it becomes dry, soiling clothes and ev-
eIything coming in contact with it
This may be obviated by slaking the
lime in boiling water, stirring it mean
while, and then applying, after dissolv-
ing in water, white vitrOl, sulphate of
barrel Of whitewash, making it the
consistency of rich milk. The sui
phate of zinc will cause the wash to
harden, and prevent the lime from
rubbing off. A pound of white salt
should be thrown into it.
