SETTING THE FRUIT TREES.
How an Orchard of Any Kind Nay Be
Made to Look Attractive as
Well as Thrifty.

Young orchards should be set so the
trees may be in exact rows. 1t requires
little more work than the slipshod
methods too often used. An orchard
in which the trees are accurately set is
joy forever, while one in which they
are set in a haphazard fashion is an
eyesore
The contention that sighting the
trees themselves will not give perfect
ly straight rows is also sound I can
scarcely conceive of the ordinary farm
hand, or even an extraordinary one,
