Single trees removed from such groups have been found to be unfruit- ful, until fertilized by neighboring trees. For this reason we advise to plant in groups or clusters. To form a group of trees, mark out a plat of ground -iO feet square, according to the diagram here given, and set a tree at each number, thus bringing the trees in close proximity to each other.

Another important item is to set different varieties near each other, so that those kinds that have imperfect blossoms may become fertilized by the pollen from trees with perfect blossoms.
