PLANTING.

PLANTING IN THE FIELD. 



Trees are generally planted either in quadrate or 

 quincunx order, and the spots are conveniently 

 marked by triangles of the 

 required dimensions, made 

 by tying three sticks or 

 stout reeds together ; for 

 the former a right-angled 

 triangle, for the latter an 

 equilateral triangle. 



A guiding line, A B, 

 having been first laid out, 

 the position of subsequent B 

 lines is easily maintained, a 



little pains being 



taken to instruct the coolies at the outset.
