XI MBER OF PLANTS PER ACRE. 



The following table gives the number of plants per 

 acre when they are set at given distances. If we de 

 sire to find the number of plants required to set an 

 acre at distances not given in the table below, this can 

 be done by a slight amount of forethought. The num- 

 ber of plants for one inch asunder in the row are given. 

 If then, plants are set two inches apart, the field will 

 require just half as many ; if three inches, just one 

 third as many as when one inch apart ; and if seven 

 inches apart, just one seventh the number.
