To find the number of plants required to set an acre, multiply 

 together the two distances, in feet, at which the trees stand 

 apart, and divide 43,560 by the product ; the quotient will be 

 the number of plants required. 



Quincunx Planting. — To find the number of plants 

 required to set an acre by the quincunx method, ascertain 

 from the above tables the number required at the given rec- 

 tangular distances, and then increase the number by one-half.

 (TF. W. Tracy ; D. JL Ferry & Co.) 



It is important to have the garden so arranged that most of 

 the work can be done by horse power. We can best point out 

 the things to be considered in the arrangement by means of the

 seven and one-half feet wide between the beets and bush 

 beans can be worked by any common one-horse cultivator.
