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; which, divided into the number 
of feet in an acre (43,560) will give the number of trees to the acre. 
CARE AFTER RECEIVING SHIPMENT 
While we exercise the greatest of care in selecting only first grade plants and 
trees for our customers, and guarantee every plant or tree we sell, caution must be 
taken when your shipment arrives. In the event that you are unable to plant your 
order immediately, just dig a trench and heel in the plants, making sure that all roots 
are covered with dirt, water well. This will keep your order in good condition until 
such time as you are ready to plant permanently.
