156 FRUIT CULTURE. 



four feet each way. Three feet has been a com- 

 mon distance, but under generous culture the 

 bushes become crowded. The white varieties 

 are less acid, and therefore are preferred by 

 some for the table. White Grape is the best of 

 this class. Dana's White is larger, but more 

 acid, a more showy market variety. The red 

 class has several varieties of merit. 



Cherry is of largest size, cluster rather short, 

 quite acid ; moderately productive, profitable for 

 market. 



Versailles closely resembles the Cherry, but is 

 supposed to have longer bunches, and to be less 

 acid. The difference, if any, is so slight that 

 competent judges refuse to recognize it. 



Fay's Prolific also resembles the Cherry, but 

 appears to be more productive, and to set longer 

 clusters. Promises well and deserves trial. 



Victoria. Fruit larger than Ked Dutch, clus- 

 ters very long, rather late, and hang a long time. 

 Quality good, not acid ; valuable for its lateness, 

 and other merits. 



Red Dutch. Long clusters, medium jsize, qual- 

 ity good ; productive. 



Black Naples is the best of the blacks, and is 

 prized by many for jams and jellies.
