202 PEKMANENT PLANTATIONS. 



nearly double the length, and, consequently, double the 

 distance between the trees will be required that would be 

 on a trellis fifteen or sixteen feet high. As a general 

 thing, ^eaches^ apricots^ or nectarines^ on walls or trelliseu 

 eight or ten feet high, should be fifteen to twenty feet 

 apart, if on free stocks, and twelve to fifteen if dwarfed 

 on the plum. Cherries^ ten to twelve feet. Our native 

 grapes^ Isahella^ Cataioha^ etc., at least thirty feet apart, 

 on an eight feet high trellis, as their rapid growth covers 

 a great space in a short time. Foreign varieties will not 

 require half this ; indeed, the better way is, to keep 

 these trained to simple stakes, and planted in the border, 

 w^iere their out-door culture is attempted. In this way 

 they are easily laid down and protected.
