Appendix. 



Division 1. Species and varieties mainly adapted to culture in the Northern 

 and Middle States of the Union and in adjacent portions of the British Provinces. 



Division 2. More southern, tropical, and subtropical species and varieties. 



Division 3. Species indigenous and introduced, not included in the foregoing, 

 which have not deviated under cultivation so far from their original types as to 

 have deserved varietal names. 



The entire territory represented is divided into nineteen pomological districts, 

 with little regard to state or provincial boundaries, but with primary reference 

 to the influence of latitude, elevation, prevailing winds, and oceanic and lacustrine 

 exposures upon their adaption to pomological pursuits. (See map.) 



Size and quality, as usually expressed in pomological phraseology, are stated in 

 the tabulation of varieties upon the scale of 1 to 10, as follows : 



SCALE OF SIZE AND QUALITY. 



District No. 1 — !Maine above five hundred feet elevation ; New Hampshire, 

 Vermont, and New York north of latitude fourty-four degrees ; Ontario north of 

 Lake Simcoe and east of longitude eighty degrees ; Quebec. New Brunswick, and 

 I'rince Edward's Island. The dominant natural feature of this district is the St. 

 Lawrence Valley. :Many of the hardier fruits flourish within its borders. 



District No 2 — Nova Scotia ; Maine below five hundred feet elevation ; New 

 Hampshire and Vermont south of latitude forty-four degrees ; Massachusetts ; 

 Rhode Island ; Connecticut ; New York south of latitude forty-four degrees, except 

 Long Island ; northern New .Jersey above five hundred feet elevation ; Pennsylvania 

 east of the Susquehanna Kiver and above five hundred feet elevation, north of 

 latitude forty-one degrees west of the Allegheny River, and all of that portion 

 of the state lying north of the Ohio River ; Oliio and Indiana north of latitude 

 forty degrees, ;ind the lower peninsula of Michigan. The Annapolis Valley of Nova 

 Scotia, the North Atlantic Coast, the lake region of western New York, Ohio, 

 and Michigan, and the Hudson River Valley are the leading features of District 

 No. 2. This may be considered the northern grape, peach, and winter apple district. 



District No. 3 — Long Island : New .Jersey, except a small portion north ; east- 

 ern Pennsylvania below five liundred feet elevation ; Delaware ; and Maryland and 

 Virginia below five hundred feet elevation. This is the Delaware and Chesapeake 

 Bay District. Though a small district, its productive capacity is great of the 

 fruits that succeed within its borders. 



District No. 4 — Pennsylvania alxive five hundred feet elevation and soutli of 

 latitude forty-one degrees ; ^Maryland. Virginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, 

 (Jeorgia, Mississippi, and Alabama, above five hundred feet elevation ; West Vir- 

 ginia ; Tennesse and Kentucky ; Ohio and Indiana south of latitude forty degrees ; 

 soutliern Illinois below the general elevation of five hundred feet, from the 

 Wabasii to the Missis.sippi ; Missouri soutli of a line from near Si. Louis and along 

 the elcA'ation of one tliousand feet to the southeast corner of Kansas ; Oklahoma 

 below two thousand feet elevation ; Indian Territory ; and Arkansas north of lati- 

 tude thirty-five degrees, also south of it wherever the elevation exceeds five hun- 

 dred feet. The Allegheny and the Ozark Mountains and the valleys of the Ohio, 

 the Tennessee, and the Cumberland, and portions of the Wabasli, the Mississippi, 

 and the Arkansas Rivers are embraced within this district. Portions of it are 

 noted fruit regions, while throughout its vast territory the hardier deciduous
