CATALOGUE OF FRUITS, 
ADOPTED BY THE SOCIETY AT THE EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL 
MEETING. 
In making a complete Catalogue of the Fruits of Florida, indicating intelligi¬ 
bly, in summarized and tabular form, the relative value of varieties for different 
sections, the wide-stretching territory, diversity of soil and climate, and the lim¬ 
ited range of each of the numerous fruits, render it essential that the State be divid¬ 
ed, so that regions allied throughout in their adaptability to fruits may be desig¬ 
nated and referrred to. 
To this end, four districts have been formed, as described below. Geographi¬ 
cal lines cannot be made to indicate pomological conditions with accuracy. More 
than approximate correctness could not be expected from an arbitrary division of 
this kind, especially where local conditions vary so greatly as in Florida. Work¬ 
ing by general averages, some sections are unavoidably left in the wrong districts, 
judging by the standard of local conditions. The divisions, however, will be 
found to answer their purpose better, than any that could be made without fur¬ 
ther sub-divisions, which would be impracticable. 
WESTERN NORTH FLORIDA—That part of the State west of the Au- 
cilla river. 
EASTERN NORTH FLORIDA—That part of the State between the Au- 
cilla river and a straight line drawn across the State from the mouth of the St. 
Johns river to Cedar Keys. 
CENTRAL FLORIDA—^That part of the State between the line above re¬ 
ferred to and the counties constituting South Florida. 
SOUTH FLORIDA—The counties of Brevard, Dade, Monroe, Lee, De- 
Soto and Manatee.
