northwestern mountains and the southern and 

 eastern coastal lowlands. The annual tempera- 

 ture of Atlantic City is about 52 F. The mild, 

 sunny winters of tjie evergreen section called 

 "The Pines" have made it a popular winter 

 resort, Lakewood having one of the most fa- 

 mous winter colonies in the East. The prevail- 

 ing winds are continental, and the local sea 

 breezes meeting the land winds often cause op- 

 prcssive humidity along the coast. The annual 

 rainfall averages forty-nine inches, the greater 

 part falling in the mountainous region. 



Agriculture. Possessing a mild climate, plen- 

 tiful rainfall and a diversity of soils, New Jer- 

 sey has occupied a distinctive position as an 

 agricultural community. In 1910, more than 

 one-half of the land area was in small farms. 

 The western counties are the chief agricultural 

 sections. The most important crops are hay, 

 corn, potatoes, wheat, rye, oats, sweet potatoes 



and buckwheat. Orchard fruits of all kinds are 

 sold in large quantities to near-by markets, and 

 grapes are grown extensively through the north- 

 ern section. New Jersey strawberries are of an 

 especially fine variety. Huckleberries cover the 

 mountain slopes and hillsides and blackberries 

 also grow wild throughout the northern section 

 of the state. In the bogs and lowlands of the 

 coastal region, cranberries are successfully grown. 

 The proximity of large markets has made 

 truck-farming important, and there are large 

 gardens near New York and Philadelphia where 

 quantities of vegetables, watermelons and can- 

 taloupes are grown, the melons of the Hack- 

 ensack variety rivaling those of Colorado. New 

 Jersey ranks thirty-sixth among the states in 

 the value of crops and is one of the leading 

 states in the Union in the raising of flowers and 

 plants. Dairying is important on the small 

 farms in the highland and mountain regions.
