POLLINATION 
With the exception of the Prunes, Fellemberg, German, Stanley, 
etc., which are self-fruitful, Plums should be interplanted to insure 
a set of fruit—European varieties for pollinating that class and 
Oriental sorts for those varieties. 
Abundance, Burbank, Santa Rosa, and Formosa are 
Oriental varieties, balance are European varieties. 
How to Figure Number of Plants Needed per Acre 
To figure the number of plants needed per acre, multiply the 
spacing together and divide into 43,560, the number of square 
feet per acre. 
Example: Apples planted 35x35. These two distances multi- 
plied together is 1225, which divided into 43,560 equals 35, 
the number of Apple trees that can be planted to the acre.
