To estimate the number of plants required for an acre at any 
given distance, multiply the distance between the rows by the 
distance between the plants, which will give the number of square 
feet allotted to each plant, and divide the number of square feet 
in an acre (48,560) by this number. The quotient will be the 
number of plants required.

planting is, for
