Fig. 2479. The liortiL'ultural products of Tennessee are greatly dlversi- lied on account of the varied soil and climatic condi- tions. A knowledge of the natural divisions of the state is essential to a thorough undeiistanding of its adaptabil- ity to the various branches of horticulture. The Unaka region, on the eastern border, contains about square miles. Some of the peaks are over 6,000 feet above sea-level, and the aver- age elevation is 5,000 feet. The soil is gravelly and thin, but contains areas that are fairly productive. Apples are grown to a limited extent. The valley of East Tennessee is the next division. It con- tains 9,200 square miles and an average elevation of feet. The soils are generally well adapted to fruits. Records taken at Knoxville during a period of twenty-six years show an average annual rainfall of inches. A thousand feet above the valley of East Tennessee lies the Cumberland Tableland, containing 5,100 square miles. This section for the most part is sterile, the soils being sandy
