92 THE GRAPE. 
If we consider that each fruiting plant in this case wih 
one square yard, which is about an average, a 
house twelve fee: wide will accommodate three rows, and 
admit room for a pathway ; and allowing forty feet as the 
fength, there will be house-room for thirty-nine vines, 
upon each of which may be ripened six to seven pounds 
of grapes, which will make the whole crop from two hzr- 
dred and thirty to two hundred and seventy pounds 
weignt. If the vines were planted out three feet apart, 
in the usaal way, the same house would contain thirteen 
plants to the roof, and the same number on the back wall; 
but as the latter will only hold good for two or three 
years, on account of shade, or may haves been used up by 
previous cropping, they can only be put down as a 
mall set-off against the advantages o. the other side. 
These thirteen vines, if forced equally zarly, cannot be 
expected to produce more than an ayuage of fifteen 
pounds, which will give a total is! one mee _ and ninety- 
five pounds. Ifthe above calculati trect—and we 
judge from practical experience in the sation atk weight

mislead, it is necessary to repeat, that the same quality is 
not to be obtained without skill, and the mosi earefut

There may appear to be an objection to poi culture,
