on a scale drawing of your lot. 
Spacing should be 18 to 25 feet for 
fruit trees; 35 to 50 feet for wal- 
nuts. Allow 15 feet between tree 
and property line. 
2. Select varieties according to time 
of ripening so that crops will bear 
at intervals throughout the season. 
Write names in plot plan. 

3. Order early to avoid disappointment.
