RULE—Square Method —Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by 
the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the num¬ 
ber of square feet for each plant or hill, which, divided into the number of feet 
in an acre (43,560), will give the number of plants or trees to the acre. 
RULE—Equilateral Triangle Method —Divide the number required to the 
acre “square method” by the decimal .866. The result will be the number of 
plants required to the acre by this method. 
BASIS OF SIZES AND CALIPER MEASUREMENTS FOR TREES 
On all deciduous fruit trees, except almonds and figs, the caliper and height 
combined determine the grade of the tree. 
Not less than 1 inch represents 8 to 10 ft. trees 
Not less than Y inch represents 6 to 8 ft. trees 
Not less than l / 2 inch represents 4 to 6 ft. trees 
Not less than Y inch represents 3 to 4 ft. trees 
Not less than % inch represents 2 to 3 ft. trees 
Almonds and Figs are inclined to grow stocky and the caliper measurements 
will govern the grade regardless of the height of the tree. 
ALMONDS 
Not less than y 2 inch represents 4 to 6 ft. trees 
Not less than Y inch represents 3 to 4 ft. trees 
Not less than % inch represents 2 to 3 ft. trees 
FIGS 
Not less than % inch represents 4 to 6 ft. trees 
Not less than l / 2 inch represents 3 to 4 ft. trees 
Not less than Y inch represents 2 to 3 ft. trees
