The soil is heavier than that of INIiddle Virginia, the subsoil being of stiff and dark-red clay. The disintegrated sandstone rocks supply elements of fertility. On the slopes of the Blue Ridge grapes of delicious flavor grow luxuriantly. These produce excel- lent wines, and the clarets have a wide fame. The pippin apples of the section are of unrivalled excellence. VIRGINIA 31 THE VALLEY The "Great Viille\'," as it is descriptively called, is, in its general configuration, one continuous valle...y, included between the two mountain chains that extend throughout the State; but it more in a ])articular sense, made up of five smaller valleys that succeed one another in the following order, from northeast to southwest: the Shenandoah Valley; the James River Valley; the Roanoke River \''alley; the Kanawha or New River Valley; and the Valley of the Houston or Tennessee. It is 242 feet above tidewater at Harper's Ferry where the Shenandoah, uniting with the Potomac, breaks through the barrier of the Blue Ridge, and gradually rises until it attains the height of 1,687 feet at its southwestern extremity, where the waters of the Holston leave the State and pass into Tennessee.
