Fruit Trees and Plants 
A GUIDE FOR SELECTING VARIETIES 
OF FRUITS 
We doubt whether there is another section that 
has such a range of climatic conditions as has the 
Rocky Mountain and Plains region. In many parts of 
this section, existing plantings of fruits have already 
pointed out what will or will not do well in a certain 
area. Here are suggestions, however, if you are in 
doubt as to what might grow’ best in your locality. 
In all cases soil and watering should be favorable, 
and windbreaks where necessary. 
SECTION I: In the higher exposed plains of the 
Eastern Slope, generally above 6,500 feet and the 
higher mountain valleys—Crab Apples, Gooseberries, 
Currants, Garden Roots. 
SECTION II: In the more agricultural sections of 
the exposed Eastern Slope plains and mountain val]- 
leys up to 7,000 feet—AIll items in Section I in addi- 
tion to Yellow Transparent, Wealthy, Cortland, Mc- 
intosh, N. W. Greening and Sheriff varieties of 
apples; Moores Arctic and American Type plums; 
Beta grapes. 
SECTION III: Where there are more moderate 
climatic conditions on the Eastern Slope, especially 
in the irrigated sections of around 5,000 feet or less, 
mountain valleys, and the Western Slope up to 6,009 
feet—All items in Sections I and II in addition to 
Cherries, European plums; Jonathan, Delicious and 
Winesap apples; Pears, Strawberries, Raspberries, 
Grapes. (Advisable to cover: Raspberries in winter.) 
SECTION IV: In the Western Slope districts of 
5,000 feet or less and the southern part of the Rocky 
Mountain region, there are many localities where the 
more tender fruits such as peaches can be grown 
successfully in addition to all items in Sections I,
