PLANTING TABLE 
The table shows the number of plants 
required to fill a circular bed of the 
dimensions given. In planting, begin 
outside row—where 6 inches apart, 
3 inches from edge of bed; where 12 inches 
apart, 6 inches from edge of bed. It is 
customary among professionals in plant¬ 
ing a bed to set the plants somewhat 
closer together in the two outer rows, 
giving more space between each plant 
towards the center of the bed. 
A square bed will take about the same 
number of plants. For an oval bed, add 
length and breadth and divide by 2. 
For example, an oval 7 feet long by 5 feet 
wide will require same number of plants 
as a circular bed 6 feet in diameter.
