The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be 
ascertained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (45,560), by the number 
of square feet given to each plant, which is obtained by multiplying the distance 
between rows by the distance between the plants. Thus strawberries planted three 
feet by one foot, give each plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.
