TABLE VII. 



SHOWING THE NUMBER OF CABBAGES, TREES, &C., REWIRED TO 

 PLANT ANY QUANTITY OF LAND, FROM 1 POLE TO 10 ACRES, AT 

 DISTANCES FROM 3 INCHES TO 24 FEET FROM EACH OTHER. 



THE distance of the plants from each other is found on the top of 

 the columns, commencing with 3 inches, and rising by 1 inch to 

 1 foot, thence by 3 inches to 2 feet, thence by 6 inches to 9 feet, 

 and thence by 1 foot to 24 feet; 10J, 13|, 16J, 19J, and 22J 

 feet, are also given to facilitate the calculation by half yards! 

 The quantity of land is found in the left hand column of the page, 

 rising by 1 pole from 1 to 40 poles, or 1 rood ; then 2 roods, 3 

 roods, 1 acre, 5 acres, and 10 acres; and opposite any given quan- 

 tity in that column, and under any given distance, is found the 

 number of plants, trees, &c., required for that quantity of land, 

 at that distance. 



Note. In calculating this Table, fractions of \ and upwards 

 are reckoned 1, and those less than \ are disregarded. 



EXAMPLE 1. What number of cabbages are required to plant 1 

 acre, 3 roods, and 35 poles, of land, at the distance of 2 feet, 6 

 inches, from each other ? 



Look in the Table for 2J feet, under which, 



Opposite 1 acre, stands . . . . 6970 



Opposite 3 roods, stands . . . . 5227 

 And opposite 35 poles, stands . . . 1525 



Which added together gives the number required = 13722 

 EXAMPLE 2. What number of trees will be required to plant a 

 piece of land, measuring 12 acres, 1 rood, 30 poles, at a distance 

 of 4 feet, 6 inches, asunder ? 



Look in the Table for 4 \ feet, the distance, under which, 

 Opposite 10 acres, stands . . . . 21511 

 Opposite 1 acre, stands 2 151, which double for 



2 acres, = ,4302 



And opposite 1 rood, stands . . . '538 



And opposite 30 poles, stands . . . 403 



Which gives the number required = 26754 



This Table, it may be observed, is calculated on the principle j 

 that the plants, &c., are supposed to be placed at equal distances I
