 And, in the same way, if standards are planted at eighteen

the usual distance for ordinary ''ground is to plant the

 at five feet apart (Fig. 6). Or, if the land be very rich, 

 the standards may be planted twenty-four feet, and the 

 bushes six feet. 



Still another and an excellent arrangement is to plaiit 

 standard apples or pears twenty-four feet apart, with a 

 pyramid plum between each, and a row of pyramids 

 between each row of standards. Then, between each of
