The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be ascer- 

 tained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of square 

 feet given to each plant, which is obtained by multiplying the distance between roics by the 

 distance between the plants. Thus, strawberries planted three feet by one foot, gives each 

 plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.
