NUMBER OF PLANTS TO AN ACRE 
SET AT REGULAR DISTANCE APART 
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 or hill; which divided into the number of square feet (43,560), will give the number 
of plants to the acre.
