Rule: Divide 43,560 (the number of square feet in an acre) 
by the number of square feet for each plant. The result is 
the number required for an acre. Example: Trees planted 
20 feet apart each way equals 400 square feet; 43,560 divided 
by 400 equals number of trees per acre. 
If trees are planted on the triangular system, 15 per 
cent more than for the square system will be required. 
ALWAYS KEEP ROOTS COVERED

CARE C OF ROSES 
Roses should be planted as soon as they are obtained. 
If this is not possible bury the roots deeply in a shallow 
trench and cover tops with a board or burlap. When plant- 
ing, dig hole large enough to receive all the roots without 
crowding, set deep enough so the junction of the root and 
top will be just above the surface of the soil when leveled 
off. Fill hole with water when about two thirds full of 
fine soil, allowing it to settle before filling in rest of dirt. 
Cut back the tops to within two or three buds of the ground 
as the tops may dry back before the roots start growth, 
if left too long. Keep supplied with ample moisture, deep 
down around the roots, keep soil loose.
