TREES IN THE ORCHARD.

Il : rs -
The Hex.son.l Arrangement Preferable
to the Square.
There are several methods Of ar.
ranging the trees in an orchard, says a
recent Canadian bulletin. The one
usually adopted is the square, most
used no doubt because many do not
know OF better. BY this arrange.
ment the trees are planted in rows the
same distance apart each way, four
trees forming q square. "A much better
plan is what is known as the hexagon-
al. By this system fifteen per cent.
more trees can be grown per acre
without the least bit more crowding
mo small item when we consider that
the profits per acre are increased ac-
cordingly.
BY the hexagonal arrangement the
trees in the second row are set alter
mating with those IN the first, six trees
forming q hexagon and inclosing q
seventh in the center. To ascertain
the correct position for the first tree
in the second row, and consequently
the distance apart OF the rows that
way of the orchard, take two strings
the same length as the distance apart
ut which the trees are to be planted,
fasten the end Of one to the first and
the other to the second stake in the
first row. then stretch the free ends
out till they meet; this point will
mark the position for the first tree in
the second row.
