CuLTTOE. The dwarf varieties should be liberally manured; the tall sorts will 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.
