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

 grapes, Isabella, Cataioba, 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.
