Grapes. — Most vigorously growing native sorts, on enriched 

 soils, may be ten to fifteen feet apart; on a poorer soil, moder-

Gooseberries and Currants. — Four to five feet. 



Raspberries. — Four to six feet in rows five feet apart. 



Blackberries. — In rows five to nine feet apart.

Registering Orchards. 



Much inconvenience and often many mistakes arise from 

 not preserving the names of varieties in young orchards. 

 The trees are received, correctly labelled, from the nursery; 

 the labels are left on till the wires cut the limbs, or until 

 effaced by time, and the sorts are forgotten. Always draw 

 on paper a plan of the orchard, marking the place of each tree 

 and its name ; it saves much subsequent confusion when labels 

 are lost.
