rows. The peaches, if in rows twenty feet apart, and twelve 

 and a half feet in the row, will have quite enough room at any

 planted much nearer than usual. None of the trees stand on 

 exact squares; the importance of preserving straight rows 

 for cultivation being greater than the form of the space oc- 

 cupied by each tree. When rows are wide apart, less room 

 is needed between the trees in the rows.
