States, a great mountain-system extending in a general direction from S.W. to N.E., from the northern confines of Georgia and Alabama, in Lat. 34° N., and terminating in a series of mountain-ranges of granite formation on the S. shores of the St. Lawrence; its total length is 1,200 m., with a breadth varying from 90 to 150. Alle ghany is the name given to it N. of the Potomac; S. of this river it is called Appal a chi an . This chain con sists of a succe ion of nearly parallel ridges having different names, and running in their greater extent nearly parallel to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, at a distance from it of from 50 to 130 m. These, retiring more into the interior as they proceed S., are now and again intersected by rivers, and separated by generally narrow valleys; and are divided into two principal ranges, the Alleghany Mountains proper, and the Blue Mountains. The former, the more westerly of the two, maintains throughout its entire length, a distance of from 240 to 300 m. from the Atlantic, an almost uniform elevation of 3,000 ft. above the level of the sea. It rises near the great bend of the river Tenne ee. in the S. part of Alabama, and from thence runs N.E. till it reaches the northern frontier of Virginia, where it trends toward the N.W. In Pennsylvania, it again takes a course N.E., and ramifies over all the central parts of that State. Near the source of the S. branch of the Susquehanna, it divides into two branches, the principal of which forms an easterly bend, and after pa ing the Susquehanna, terminates in the Cat skill mountains, one of the highest elevations of the -v . a .

On the W. of the Alleghany lie the Laurel Moun- tains, which run in a parallel course with that range. To the E. of the Hudson river are the Green Mountains, with their adjuncts the Taghconnue, and Mount Tom, both rising in Connecticut near New Haven. The former, after intersecting Vermont, throws out a succe ion of detached summits as far as Cape Gaspé; while the latter takes a line through New Hampshire into Lower Can- ada. E. of Mount Tom are found the White Mountains, a group of dome-shaped configuration, the highest sum- mit of which is Mount Washington, at an altitude of 6,234 ft. above sea-level, and the most elevated point in New England. All of these out-lying ranges are distinguished from those of the A. properly so called, lying to S. and W. of the Hudson, by their line of exten- sion forming a parallel to that of the principal rivers, and perpendicular to the sea-coast. Naked summits are the exception in these mountains, which are for the most part wooded to the very top. Their strata consists of granite, gnei , mica, and clay slate, and the primitive limestone. In the N., the more elevated portions are chiefly composed of primary rocks, in which are em- bedded vast deposits of coal and iron of immense value. (See MINERAL COAL.) Marble, slate, copper, zinc, chrome, ., are also abundant in different parts of the A. range. Appallachee'. See APALACHEK. Appall a chi cola. See A PAL A CHI COLA. Appall, v. a. See APPAL.

The tree is not always allowed to ramify in a natural manner, but is sometimes trained as an es- palier, or as a wall-tree. New varieties are being continu- ally developed; and as they are generally propagated by grafting, the old ones gradually die out. The variety that produced the costard , or custard , which was at one time a favorite kind of apple, does not now exist, though the name of costermongers ( costard - mongers ) is still re- tained for itinerant venders of apples. The apple is usually grafted on apple or crab-stocks; but sometimes hawthorn stocks are used. For producing dwarf-trees, stocks of the paradise-apple, a very diminutive variety, are usually employed.
