120 Glacial and Loessial Soils. 



Shelby sand. — A brown or yellow loamy sand, 10 inches deep, 

 grading into reddish-yellow sand of medium texture, underlain at 

 from 24 to 36 inches by sandstone in place. The subsoil is derived 

 from underlying rock, the soil being a covering of wash material. 

 Occurs as gently rolling upland, just above the second bottoms. 

 Adapted to track, small fruit, and peaches. Also adapted to 

 wrapper leaf tobacco.

Cassadaga sand. — Coarse orange or gray sand, 1 to 3 feet or more 

 deep. Occurs usually in upland valleys. Inclined to be wet or 

 marshy, and needs drainage because of a hardpan subsoil. Very 

 little under cultivation, is usually wooded, and generally has a 

 thick growth of underbrush. Has at present little agricultural 

 value. If it were cleared and drained, it would probably be 



suited to grass.

Volusia sandy loam.— The soil is brown or yellow sandy loam, 6 

 to 10 inches deep, resting upon a fine orange sand 3 feet or more 

 in depth; sometimes contains fragments of shale. Glacial origin 

 from underlying shale material. It is a very productive soil for 

 corn, oats, and potatoes— particularly for the latter, of which 

 large yields are reported. A\'heat, however does not do well and
