_FiG. 52. — The most important area of vegetable production extends from New York 

 City to Norfolk, Va. In this area about one-fifth of the Nation's commercial crop is 

 produced. A second important area extends from Utica, N. Y., west to Buffalo and Erie. 

 Another belt surrounds the southern half of I>ake Michigan. Florida and southern Geor- 

 gia, where perhaps one-third of the winter vegetables are grown, may be said to consti- 

 tute a fourth area. California possesses three important areas — the Sacramento-Stockton 

 district, the Los Angeles district, and the Imperial Valley. In California also the winter 

 crop is important. Smaller centers of production adjoin most of the large cities. The 

 centers shown in western Iowa and Nebraska represent pop corn.
