Excerpt from Arboriculture, 1902-1903: A Magazine of the International Society of Arboriculture; Volumes 1 and 2 If desirable to sow the seed, make rows three and one-half or four feet apart, with broad shallow drills. Use fifty pounds seed per acre, cover very slightly. Hoe care fully until fourth leaves appear, then horse cultivation. It would be far preferable to buy the trees if obtainable. These should be transplanted in spring; never in autumn, where freezing occurs. Lay off ground eight by eight feet, deep furrows one way, plant at intersection. Each man should set trees per day. Cultivate as for corn which may be grown between rows of trees and thus pay expense of cultivation. After eighth year begin taking out alternate trees for posts, continue this as convenient, leaving trees finally sixteen by sixteen feet, one hundred and seventy per acre, 510 trees having been removed for posts. Cultivation should be continued at least once or twice a year, until ground is shaded sufficiently to keep down grass. Very shallow harrowing is best not to injure roots. With good treatment trees at twelve years will make one tie each. At sixteen years three ties each, or 510 per acre.
