USEFUL TABLES. 



The folloiving tables may be tuseful to the Farmer and Gardiner in 

 shoiving the number of plants or trees that may he raised on an acre of 

 ground ; also, the quantity of seed required for an acre, vjith the number 

 of plants that can be groion from an ounce of seed, should the weather 

 be favorable and the seed be preserved from the destruction of insects.
