APPLES AND PEACHES IN THE OZARK RECxION. 



The same general plan is being followed in the present connection, 

 the object being to give exact information regarding the actual as 

 well as the relative blossoming and ripening periods of a few of the 

 representative varieties of apples and the more important varieties 

 of peaches grown in the Ozarks, the occurrence of frosts, etc. 



For such data to have any real significance, however, they must be 

 accompanied by certain information relative to the location, elevation, 

 etc., of the trees from which the records were made. Such informa- 

 tion is therefore supplied as fully as limited space permits. In the 

 phenological tables which follow, the approximate latitude and eleva- 

 tion of each place of observation are indicated. The observer is desig- 

 nated in the tables by the number which precedes his name in the "List 

 of observers " given in Table VI. By referring to this list it is possible 

 to ascertain the approximate location at which each record was made. 



In Tables VI, VII, and VIII the arrangement is from south to 

 north. That is, the southernmost location is given first, each suc- 

 ceeding entry being a more northerly one, except, of course, where 

 succeeding locations may have the same latitude. It should also 

 be stated that the data as tabulated include records supplied by 

 cooperative observers located at points throughout the States of 

 Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, and are therefore not restricted 

 in their application to the Ozark region.
