form. Such uniformity is found only when in each region the geo- 

 logic structure, the soil, the topography, and the climate are similar. 

 Some of the boundary lines of such regions are very definite. The 

 boundary lines of others are indefinite and must in some degree be 

 arbitrary, as so many factors are involved.

As a basis for the regions recognized in this bulletin, the physio- 

 graphic divisions or provinces of the United States made by Fenne- 

 man (15) have been used. These provinces are based upon geologic 

 structure, topography, and soils, each division consisting of a region 

 mainly uniform in these respects. 



The provinces outlined by Fenneman take no account of climate 

 nor the factors which determine it, except as these are influenced by 

 topography. As physiographic and climatic factors together affect 

 and may even determine the pomological possibilities of a region, it 

 is evident that the physiographic provinces must be considered in 

 connection with the climatic factors in order to form pomological 

 regions.
