RULE—Multiply the distance in feet between 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 (43,560), will give the number of plants 
or trees to the acre. 
STATEMENT OF INSPECTION FOR TRUENESS- 
TO-NAME 
Amherst, Mass. 
To Whom It May Concern: July 16, 1948 
All of the apple, pear and two-year plum va-

Nurseries, Manheim, Pennsylvania, have been 
examined by the Massachusetts Trueness-to- 
name Inspection Service. To the best of our 
knowledge, these trees are true-to-name as they 
now stand in the nursery row. A. P, FRENCH
