PENN SERIES. 



The Penn series is derived from the disintegration of dark-red 

 sandstone or shale. In productiveness and latitude of crop adap- 

 tation the Penn series may be considered as somewhat below the 

 Hagerstown series and above the Cecil series for soils of corre- 

 sponding texture. 



Penn stony loam. — Very stony land, hilly to mountainous in 



character, and generally covered with a natural forest of chestnut 



and oak. It consists of a rather heavy Indian-red loam, 8 to 10 



inches deep, containing from 30 to 60 per cent of red or brown 



sandstone fragments. The subsoil is of much the same character 



to a great depth. This type is derived from the more siliceous or 



hardened phase of the Triassic sandstone. It is well adapted to 



forestry and orcharding, and the more level areas, when the 



stones are removed, to general farm crops.
