PLAN OF ARRANGING PEAR GROUNDS. 



107 



Fig. 32. 

 lOOleet 



arrangement is the quincunx, as it affords a larger 

 space to trees planted in this manner, than set oppo- 

 site each other. 

 By this plan, the 

 trees will be ar- 

 ranged in rows 

 in live different 

 directions, from 

 which fact the 

 method takes its 

 name. In jjlant- 

 ing, the ground 



should be laid 



off by a plow in 



furrows, at the 



proper distance. 



A furrow should S 



then be j^lowed 



at right angles 



to the former, at 



one end of the 



plot, where the 



outside row of 



trees is to be 



planted, as in 



Fig. 32. The dis- 

 tance at which 



the next paral- 

 lel furrow is 



to be plowed, 



should be one half of that at whicli the trees 



are to be planted in the rows. That is, if the 



rows are ten feet from eacli other, and the trees are to 



100 feet
