Square or Qulueuuc Dflt Systems.
There aro Various systems of plant
ing trees but the square or rectangu
lar system Is probably usod most and
all things considered, It Is probably
the best system; for a permauent or
chard. One of Us chief advantages ov
er some of the others Is the fact that
allows for Its easiest cultivation. The
Dninmini svatem allows for a more
even distribution of the trees and It is
used mostly where .fillers are to e
grown a number of yearB and then ta
ken out. By this system the Hilars
are nut Into the center of each Bquare
and when taken out the sqaure sys
tern results
The hexagonal or equllaterlal trlan
ele system allows of the mose even
distribution of any system known, but
Is not used more because of the dim
cultv in cultivation.
A few of the main points in starting
an orchard are: To order stock ear-

Order Stock Early-
It Is very doubtful if It is posible
to set any nursery stock if ordered
now and certainly not very advisable
to try unless one knows' whom he is
dealing with. Every ... nurseryman
knows that the' best stock is-always
sent out with , the first orders and
those, who order after , the first, class
stock is Bold, receive an Inferior grade
ot plants. The reason why this is es
pecially Important now and probably
will be for some years is because so,
many large orchards are being set out
nil thn nurseries cannot supply the
demand. . Stock to be used In the
spring should be ordered during the
.previous summer or early fall.

Extreme Care Nccessnry.
, The date from the time when the
trees are taken up in the nursery un
til they are planted In the orchard is
one of the most critical times in the
life history of the fruit trees. As a
rule the grower has little or no means
of changing their state of affairs until
the consignment arrives at his railway
station but then the stock Is In his
hands and much depends upon the way
in which he takes care of them. As
soon, as they arrive they should be ta
