trees are sub.ieot to sun scald, and should be headed low, so 
as to afford all the shade possible. In a mixed orchard the 
apple should have the best soil in the plot and if the soil ie 
joor it should be given a liberal coat of manure. 
riant trees twenty-five to thirty feet apart each way. At 
tw<nt.v-five feet, an acre would require seventy trees; at thirty 
feet, fifty trees.
