APPLES. 



Apples rank auiong the staple crops of the United States. A mul- 

 titnde of varieties flourish in the Transition and Upper Austral zones 

 and a smaller number in the Lower Austral, as maj^ be seen from the 

 following table. One variety, the Red Astrachan, is remarkable 

 for the wide range of climatic conditions it is able to endure, as it 

 appears to thrive in all the zones and in all the areas except the most 

 arid. Many varieties are restricted to a single zone, but the greater 

 number are common to two adjoining zones, as the Transition and 

 Upper Austral, or the Upper and Lower Austral. 



Crab apples are almost restricted to the Transition zone, only four 

 varieties being known to flourish farther south, and all of these are 

 Transition varieties.
