SOIL FOR ORCHARDS. The apple is a vigorous and hardy tree, and will grow upon most soils. It does best however, on such as are deep, rich and good, such as will give good crops of Indian corn. Hard, shallow, and wet grounds, are to be avoided. Improvement by manuring and deep cultivation is desirable, as a material difference in quality and productiveness often results from a difference in fertility. DISTANCE. Where the quantity of ground is limited, trees may for a time stand within fifteen or... twenty feet ; 104 PLANTING ORCHARDS. but for large and permanent orchards they should not be nearer than thirty feet. There is however, a material difference in the size of varieties, hence a variation may be allowed. But this variation in distance should not break the rows which are to be preserved for convenience in cultivation. The rows may be kept entire, by varying the distance in one way only, as in the annexed figure. The middle portion is for trees of the largest size, as the Spitzenburgh, Fall Pippin, and Rhode Island Greening; those of smallest size, as Bough, Yellow Harvest and Sine Qua Non, are on the left ; and those of middle growth, as the Swaar, Black Gilli- flower, and Tallman Sweeting are on the right.
