ORCHARD PLANTING 
The land that will produce the best farm crops 
will also produce the best orchards. Rolling, well 
drained lands are best for all varieties of fruits. 
No home, large or small is complete without an 
assortment of Fruit Trees. We are giving our sug¬ 
gestions for the arrangement of an Orchard Planting 
to give the greatest number of Trees in a small 
acreage. 
A few fruit Trees, properly selected, planted and 
well cared for. will produce enough fruit for the 
average family, with some to sell.
