Distance Apart—Fruit Trees and Small Fruits 
The locality and soils should be considered in spacing 
fruit trees. Orchard fruits especially make a more vigor- 
ous growth. in heavy soils. Again some yarieties are small 
growers and the others are vigorous. 
As a general rule the following distances are suggested: 
Apples 
Sweet (Cherries icaitouwo ss cues Seceetn 30 to 40 feet each way 
Pears, Apricots, Plums, Peaches ...16 to 24 feet each way 
Quinces 16 to 20 feet each way 
Grapes 6 by 8 feet to 8 by 10 feet 
Currants, Gooseberries 4 by 6 feet to 6 by 8 feet 
Raspberries 3 by 6 feet to 5 by 8 feet 
Blackberries 4 by 7 feet to 6 by 9 feet 
In case of dwarf apples or pears the distance may be 
one-half of the distance recommended for standard va- 
rieties. 
EVERGREENS [Planted for Windbreak) 
For results in 6 years or more 10 feet apart 
For results in 4 years 5 feet apart 
(Take out every other tree later.) 
For results in two years....:....+.+++..+2¥% feet apart 
(Gradually thin out to 10 feet apart as trees develop.) 
How to Plant Evergreens 
(1) Dig hole a foot larger and deeper than ball of earth. 
Provide good, loamy top soil to fill around ball.

as trees. (See pages 6 and 7.) Take care never to leave 
the roots exposed a single moment.
