CATALOGUE OF FRUITS. 
ADOPTED BY THE SOC3ETY AT THE EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL 
MEETING. 
In making a complete Catalogue of the Fruits of Florida, indicating intel¬ 
ligibly, in summarized and tabular form, the relative value of varieties for 
different sections, the wide-stretching territory, diversity of soil and climate, and 
the limited range of each of the numerous fruits, render it essential that the State 
be divided, so that regions allied throughout in their adaptability to fruits may be 
designated and referred 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 this purpose better, than any that could be made without further sub¬ 
divisions, which would be impracticable. 
WESTERN NORTH ELORIDA—That part of the State west of the Au- 
cilla river. 
EASTERN NORTH ELORIDA—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 ELORIDA—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, DeSoto 
and Manatee.
