TREATMENT OF TREES, ETC., THAT HAVE BEEN 
FROZEN IN THE PACKAGE OR RECEIVED

Put them unopened in a cellar or some other cool, protected place,

they are fully thawed out, then they can be unpacked and planted or 
placed in trenches until convenient to plant. Treated in this way they 
will not be injured by the freezing.

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance 
apart may be ascertained by dividing the number of square feet in an 
acre (43,560) by the number of square feet given to each plant, 
which is obtained by multiplying the distance between the rows by 
the distance between the plants. Thus, strawberries planted 3 feet by 
1 foot gives each plant 3 square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.
