This will give the number if planted septuple. L.WING OUT Hex.GONALS WITH A TRIAN- GLE.âIt is possible to lay out an orchard in hexagonal form by working from stake to stake with an equilateral triangle of dimen-. 0 The Square and Equilateral methods.

Take three strips of one-by-two-inch dry pine or redwood, and as long as you wish the distance be- tween the trees. Cut the strips the same length, and fasten the corners of the triangle firmly together by nailing to pieces of pine board six by six inches. If the long strips are set up edgewise, the triangle will be much stiffer and better to carry. Through the corner boards bore an inch hole, making sure that the three sides of the triangle measure exactly the same. If they do, the triangle must necessarily be perfect. Then brace it a little by nailing a lath across each corner, a
