SECTIONAL MAP—To assist our customers in selection of 
varieties of fruits best adapted to their location, we have 
shown map of the Southwest, dividing into sections which 
are designated as Section A—The South Central or Red River 
Belt; Section B—The North Central or Ozark Belt; Section 
C—The Elevated Western or Semi-Arid Belt; Section D—The 
Coast Belt. It must be kept in mind that no definite lines 
can be drawn to divide the territory of the Southwest for 
certain varities or kinds of trees, and the division we have 
made is only in a broad and general way. There are varia¬ 
tions of soils and climates within these sections and it must 
be borne in mind that these conditions have much to do with 
time of ripening, character of growth and also the coloring 
of fruits. 
NUMBER OF TREES PER ACRE—The number of trees to be 
planted per acre varies somewhat with the soil and the va¬ 
riety to be planted. Trees or plants on deep rich soil require 
more distance than on light poor soil. The following dis¬ 
tances are usually recommended for average soils. 
Apple—30x25 feet—58 Trees per Acre. 
Apricot—18x18 feet—134 Trees per Acre. 
Cherry—Same as Apricot. 
Figs—15x15 feet—193 Trees per Acre. 
Peach—20x20 feet—108 Trees per Acre. 
Pear—Same as Peach. 
Plum—Same as Apricot. 
Pecans—40x40 feet—27 Trees per Acre. 
Grape—8x10 feet—545 Vines per Acre. 
Blackberry and Dewberry—3x8 feet—1,815 Vines per Acre. 
To ascertain number of plants required per acre, divide the 
number of square feet in an acre (43,560), by the number of 
square feet to be given each plant. For instance, apple 30x25 
feet requires 750 square feet per tree or 58 trees per acre.
