Orchard and Small Fruit Planting Suggestions 
Apple orchards are usually planned in such a man- 
ner that the ‘‘tpermanent’’ trees are set at the proper 
distances required when they are fully grown and 
developed; ‘‘filler’’ trees are set between the perma- 
nents and can be removed as the permanent trees 
develop. Usually the filler trees are chosen for their 
compact growth and early fruiting habit, thus giving 
the orchardist an early income; the permanent varie- 
ties are usually chosen because of their larger, more 
spreading and later fruiting habits. 
Peach trees make excellent fillers. 
The following diagrams are ideal orchard plans: 
All varieties of 

Open circle represents permanents, 40 feet apart; 
and dots fillers, 20 feet apart. The latter to be re- 
moved in twenty years. These are distances adopted 
by most planters. 

TRIANGULAR PLAN for Setting Orchard. 
A permanent set, 40 feet apart; C and B fillers, 
20 feet apart. OC fillers to be removed in fifteen 
years; B fillers to be removed in twenty-five years. 
These are distances adopted by most planters.
