DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



USEFUL TABLES 



The following tables may be useful to the Farmer and Gardener in showing the number of plants or trees that 

 uiav be raised on an acre of ground, also the quantity of seed required for an acre, with the number of plants that can 

 be grown from an ounce of seed, should the weather be favorable and the seed be preserved from the destruction of 

 insects. We would, however, recommend a slight increase in the quantities to allow for these contingencies. The 

 number of square feet contained in an acre of ground is 43,560 feet.
