In this, the rows run in three directions, the trees being at equal distances in each at the cor- ners of equilateral triangles; or, combining six of these triangles, we find that each tree is the center of a hexagon, with six trees at equal distances around it. We get the same arrangement by drawing a series of circles having equal radii, and so that the circumference of each passes through the centers of all of those around it. We nearly secure this in a practical way, by marking off a field by parallel lines, crossing at right angles, and at twice the distance apart in one direction more than in the other. If we plant at the alternate points of intersection, we shall have the triangular order. By plowing in the three directions between the rows, such plantations may be cul- tivated in the same way as squares, but the rows must be wider apart in order to do this to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hough, Franklin Benjamin, 1822-1885.
