The rows are so wide that to pick fruit in the center it is almost necessary to crush fruits on the out- side of the row. This system gives few large first-class fruits, and is now passing away. The up-to-date grower starts with the assumption that the largest and highest colored fruits are found on plants along the outside of the rows, and therefore he plans to have as many out- side rows as possible. This he accomplishes by having his rows closer together and much narrower. The rows are made from 30-36 inches apart and the plants from 18-24 or even 30 inches apart in the rows, much depend- ing on the prolificacy of the variety as a plant-maker.
