SUGGESTIONS FOR A MODEL ORCHARD 


The best plan for planting an acre 210x210 in a Home 
Orchard for this section is as follows: 


12 Paper Shell Pecan 60 x 60 Feet 

33 Early to Late Peach 20x 20 Feet 

10 Early to Late Pear 60 x 60 Feet

The above proposed planting is furnished by The John S. 
Kerr Nursery Company of Sherman, Texas. We will be 
glad to furnish the farmers with detailed information as to 
preparation of the soil, selection of orchard site, best 
varieties to plant and proper pruning and planting methods.

ful farmers have a good orchard and garden.
