 besides the advantage of having the material at hand as required during the planting season. 



From 4,000 to 6,000 trees can be advantageously planted per acre with rows 4 to 6 feet apart. 



The stock noted below is all nursery grown and most of it once or twice transplanted, and can 

 therefore be put out with very little, if any loss, and but little expense or labor is required to keep the 

 trees in vigorous growth and condition.

 thousand given upon application.

 in spring or autumn, and the loss of time equivalent to several seasons' growth compared with planting 

 the smaller trees thus avoided. For permanent results trees 10 to 12 or 12 to 15 feet are usually 

 preferable.
