Two Methods of Hexagonal Planting With Fillers 

 "P" represents Permanent Trees, and "F'' shoMS location of fillers. 

 Fillers are omitted in center of each illustration to show more clearly appear- 

 ance of orchard after fillers are removed. It will be noticed in Fif. 2 that 

 each filler occupies the exact center of an equilateral triangle formed by the 

 permanent trees. Fig. 1 is probably best where small growing sorts are planted 

 as fillers among larger groA\ing varieties. Fig. 2 is better when planting only 

 one variety, which must be thinned when approaching maturity.
