Making the Garden Pay

Blackberries are started by plant
ing the suckers or young plants that
come up from the extended roots OF
the old plants, or pieces of roots from
old plants may simply be buried at a
depth of two or three inches where
the hills are wanted. The plarting of
suckers IS best for the home garden.
The canes formed one year bear
the fruit the following season and
then should be removed The strong
growing canes should be pinched back
during the summer so that they form
branches and do not become too high.
Blackterries that grow Wild in
patches support one another, but in
the garden, where the hills are spaced
about three or four feet apart, the
young tender canes are liable to be
broken off at the base by the wind
unless they are tied to supports. \
good way to support the blackberry
plants is to drive long stake about
four feet nigh in the row beside each
hill. then stretch about three strands
Of galvanized wire on the stakes ana
tie the canes TO the wires.
Dewberries are similar TO black
berries i'm most respects, except that
the canes creep along the ground
