SUMMEK APPLES IN THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 



seasons grown in these States are included, as well as the early- 

 ripening ones to which the subject-matter of the foregoing pages 

 relates. For a similar reason, the range of observations includes 

 the entire States, of which the region under discussion in the earlier 

 pages forms a part. 



The climatological tables on pages 13 to 15, for the years 1902 to 

 1907, inclusive, which correspond to the years covered by the pheno- 

 logical data below, should be carefully consulted in studying these 

 data, since the latter are governed largely by the prevailing cHmatic 

 conditions. 



A list of the names and addresses of those who have contributed 

 the data presented in Table IV is given below. Each observer is 

 assigned a number. These appear in the first column in the list 

 in numerical order. For convenience in indicatmg the approximate 

 geographical location where the different records were made, the 

 number representing the observer who made each one is placed 

 before it in Table IV in the column headed ''Observer's No." 



The sequence of arrangement in Table IV is by States, from south 

 to north; under each State, it is alphabetically by counties, as are 

 also the names of the post-offices and observers in each county. The 

 order of the observations on each variety is also from south to north, 

 in accordance with the approximate latitude at which each observa- 

 tion was made.
