Abstract
Excerpts: The maps, charts and tables of this Atlas present facts on the production and marketing of the more important fruits, vegetables, and nuts of the nine states in the Southern Region - Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia. This initial release includes maps which indicate by counties and in most cases by areas, principal points of production of fruit, vegetable and nut crops. Marketing periods are indicated for commodities by areas. The marketing periods will vary somewhat from year to year, dependent largely on weather and to some extent on marketing conditions. The graphic presentation of marketing periods gives some indication of the extent of inter-area competition.
