CuLTTJKE. The dwarf varieties should be liber- 

 ally manured; the tall sorts wall run too much to 

 vine if heavily manured, it being better to depend 

 on the richness of the land that was previously in 

 good condition. Plant the dwarfs in rows 2 feet 

 apart; those varieties attaining a height of from 2 

 to 3 feet in rows 3 feet apart, and the rows of the 

 tallest sort 4 feet apart. Bushing the tall kind when 

 6 inches high, on poles set every 6 to 8 feet, with 

 twine fastened to them about 4 inches apart, will 

 answer nicely.
