RULE—Multiply the distance in feet be- 
tween 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 square 
feet in an acre (43,500), will give the number 
of plants or trees to the acre.

The Nectarine has size and a smooth skin like the plum. 
In other ways it is more like a peach. It is of rich, 
delicious flavor, juicy and melting, and highly prized 
as a dessert fruit. It is much superior to the peach, as 
a dryer and makes excellent preserves. The Nectarine 
is as hardy as the peach and requires the same culture. 
We have the variety, Sure Crop.
