USEFUL TABLES. 



The foUowing tables may be xLseful to the Farmer and Gardener in, 

 showing the number of plants or trees that may 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 on the quantities to atloio 

 for these contingencies.
