succeed in most portions, and commercial fruit growing- is a rapidly 
developing industry. 
District No. 9. — Wisconsin except tlie southwest coiner 5 Minnesota; 
upper Michigan; Iowa north of about latitude 4ii° 30'; North and South 
Dakota east of longitude 99°; and the British Provinces west of longi- 
tude 80° and east of longitude 99°. This district embraces the upper 
lakes including Winnipeg, the Upper Mississippi and the Bed Biver 
valleys. Only the hardier fruits succeed, but fair progress has been 
made in recent years in developing varieties adapted to this region. 
District No. 10. — Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma above 2,000 feet 
elevation; Texas above 2.000 feet elevation and north of Bed Biver 
and latitude 35°; also Colorado below 5,000 feet. This is the Central 
Plain and Foot Hill district. It lies on the eastern slope of the Conti- 
nental Divide. There are small sections, especially in eastern Colo- 
rado, where the apple and other hardy fruits are very successfully 
grown. 
District No. 11 . — Texas above 1,000 feet and south of Bed Biver and 
latitude 35° and east of longitude 103° and the Pecos and Bio Grande 
rivers. This may be accepted as an extension southward of District 
No. 10 , with very similar conditions but a warmer and more southern 
climate. 
District No. 12. — Texas west of longitude 103° and the Pecos Biver, 
and New Mexico south of latitude 35°. The Pecos and Bio Grande 
valleys are the characteristic features of this district. Considerable 
effort at growing fruit, especially the apple and the hardier mnifera 
grapes, is being made in many localities. 
District No. 13. — New Mexico and Arizona north of latitude 35°; 
Utah; and Colorado above 5,000 feet elevation. This district embraces 
the Continental Divide and the Great Salt Lake, and it also embraces 
the valley aud canyon of the Colorado and the sources of the impor- 
tant streams south of the Missouri and Yellowstone. It affords a great 
diversity of soils and climatic conditions, and hence a wide range of 
fruit growing. The species successfully grown within the boundaries 
of this district range from the mnifera grapes to the hardy iron clad 
apples. 
District No. 11. — The Dakotas west of longitude 99°; Wyoming; 
Montana east of longitude 111°; and the British Provinces lying 
between longitude 99° and 111°. The upper Missouri and Yellowstone 
valleys are the distinctive features of the district. There is perhaps 
no section of the district in which fruit growing has reached a very 
high state of development. Leading causes of this condition may be 
found in the comparatively undeveloped, or unsettled, state of the 
country and its great elevation. 
District No. 15. — British America west of longitude 111° and east of 
longitude 122°; Montana west of longitude 111°; Idaho; Nevada; and 
Washington, Oregon, and California east of the general coast con-
