The alternate slakes on this line will be for temporary use only. In setting stakes on lines parallel with base A C, the tans of one color should be spaced 24 feet apart, commencing at the zero end. Tags of another color (for use on alternate lines) should be spaced 24 feet apart, commencing at a distance of 12 feet from the zero end of the chain. RULE: Alternate Method—The number of plants re- quired per ncre by this method is the same as that re- quired by the "square method" with similar planting distances. QUINCUNX SYSTEM—The only advantage In this method of planting is in connection with using a filler temporarily, to bo dug up as soon as there is any indica- tion of crowding. This permits of double the amount of trees to the acre than in the square system. Proceed to stake the field in squares. Then without the aid of a chain, place a stake in the center of each square. This Is readily determined by sighting along the two diag- onal rows of stakes at right angles to each other. C •- I t-;~ i i j . r M--H--I-+-H 11 l I I i -J, i T • - -- - O- - - • .

The result will be the number of plants required to the acre by this method. HEXAGONAL SYSTEM—This is the only one in which the trees are equidistant apart in every direction, every tree being at one point of an equilateral triangle. The name "; sometimes applied to this system, refers to the fact that the number of trees in each group unit is seven. Note hexagon on diagram
