Special Service Department 
Volumes have been written on the planting and care of orchards and the beautification of home 
grounds, and yet each planting becomes an individual problem. With each order we ship out will 
be sent a bulletin on the care and cultivation of trees and plants, presenting in a general way sug- 
gestions which will help to make a success of the planting of stock which we supply. In addition 
to these general suggestions, however, you will find us ready at all times to help you in any way 
we can. If you desire assistance in selecting varieties of fruits and plants best suited to your 
particular location, write us and we will gladly render you this service. 
SPECIMEN PLANTS—In this small catalog it is not possible for us to list all stock we grow. On 
our grounds we have an abundance of specimen plants in many varieties which are not shown 
in this catalog. If you do not find just what you want listed, write us for your individual needs. 
SPECIAL PRICES—Often a customer desires to purchase trees and plants in large quantities and for 
commercial purposes. We are in position to handle such orders in best possible shape and can name 
you attractive prices. If you are interested in commercial orchard planting be sure to write us. 
Number of Trees Per Acre 
The number of trees to be planted per acre varies somewhat with the soil and the variety to be 
planted. Trees or plants on deep rich soil require more distance than on light poor soil. The 
following distances are usually recommended for average soils: 
Apple—30x25 feet—58 Trees per Acre. 
Apricot—18x18 feet—134 Trees per Acre. 
Cherry—Same as Apricot. 
Figs—15x15 feet—193 Trees per Acre. 
Peach—20x20 feet—108 Trees per Acre. 
Pear—Same as Peach. 
Plum—Same as Apricot. 
Pecan—40x40 feet—27 Trees per Acre. 
Grape—8x10 feet—545 Vines per Acre. 
Blackberry and Dewberry—3x8 feet—1,815 Vines per Acre. 
To ascertain number of plants required per acre, divide the number of square feet in an acre 
(43,560), by the number of square feet to be given each plant. For instance, apple 30x25 feet re- 
quires 750 square feet per tree or 58 trees per acre.
