To estimate the number of plants reejuired for an acre at any given Obstance, multiply the 
distance between the rows by the distance between the plants, which will give the number of 
square feet alloted to each plant, and divide the number of sc[uare feet in an acre (43,560) by 
this number, and the C)uotient will be the number of plants reciuired. 
To Correspondents 
1, Orders should be sent in as early as possible, that there may be plenty of time for 
shipping long distances when necessary, 
2, Buyers, ordering by mail, should list their wants plainly on a separate sheet, and not 
in the body of the letter, and thus prevent mistakes which might otherwise occur, 
3, We suggest that purchasers leave the selection of varieties with us so far as possible, 
merely stating the proportion of Summer, Fall and Winter fruit wanted, incident to our exper- 
ience enabling us to select such sorts as are adapted to the locality, 
4, Immediate notice should be given to us of any error in filling an order, that we may at 
once rectify the mistake or give a satisfactory explanation. 
Fumigation and Inspection 
Our nurseries are inspected twice each year by the State Entomologist, and are kept free 
from insects and posts by spraying and fumigating. 
A Profitable Apple Orchard.
