Texas Printing House—Horticultural Dept.—Dallas 
RULE—Multiply the distance in 
feet between the rows by the 
distance the plants are apart in 
the rows, and the product will 
be the number of square feet for 
each plant or hill; which divided 
into the number of square feet 
(43,560), will give the number 
of plants to the acre.
