USEFUL TABLES. 



The follounng tables may be useful 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 allow 

 for these contingencies.
