Quincunx plant- 

 ing. 



To find the num- 

 ber of plants re- 

 quired to set an 

 acre by the quin- 

 cunx method, ascer- 

 tain from the above 

 tables the number 

 required at the 

 given rectangular 

 distances, and then 

 increase the number 

 by one-half. 



The real quincunx 

 planting places a 

 tree in the center of 

 the square. The 

 trees cannot all be 

 equal distance apart. 

 The so-called quin- 

 cunx that places all 

 trees at equal dis- 

 tances is only the 

 square method run- 

 ning diagonally 

 across the field.
