202 PERMANENT 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, peaches, apricots, or nectarines, on walls or trellisec 

 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, Isabella, Catawba, 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, 

 where their out -door culture is attempted. In this way 

 they are easily laid down and protected.
