PART IV. 



CROP TABLES. 



Tlie accompanying tables are arranged to show, under the head of 

 particular crops (as cereals, apples, pears, and so on), the zone ranges 

 of the more important varieties. Fruits having very limited zone 

 ranges, as oranges and guavas, are not included, because they are so 

 easily found under their appropriate zones in the text. 



Incidentall}^, the tables serve to bring out the interesting fact that 

 while a few varieties, as the Red Astrachan apple and Bartlett and 

 Seckel pears, have wide ranges, thriving in as many as three zone's, 

 the vast majority are restricted to two, and a considerable number to 

 a singles zone. 



Additions and corrections are earnestl}' desired. 



CEREALS. 



Cereals taken collectively' thrive best in cool climates and are most 

 successful in the Transition and Ui)per Austral zones. This is particu- 

 larly true of oats and wlieat. Corn, while no exception to the rule, 

 has more varieties adapted to tlie Lower Austral, as appears in the 

 accompanying table. 



Zone ranges of oats, tvlieat, and corn.
