Varieties prefixed by a cross ( + ) do not thrive in the Upper Missis- 

 sippi section of the Transition zone (Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the 

 eastern Dakotas), except in eastern Wisconsin in the vicinity of Green 

 Bay. Those followed hy the letters (n) or (s) in this and the follow- 

 ing lists are practically restricted, respectively, to the northern or 

 southern parts of the areas under consideration. Similarly the letter 

 {h) indicates that the variety is confined to the hottest parts of the 

 zone and belongs more properly to the zone below. Credit is due to 

 Mr. William A. Taylor for marking the fruits in accordance with this 

 plan. The numerals {2) and {3) indicate that the cereals thus 

 marked are second or third rate in the area under consideration.
