The United States Department of Agriculture has released a new plant hardiness zone map for the United States. The hardiness zone map divides the country into 13 hardiness zones based on average annual minimum winter temperatures, with zone 1 representing the coldest zone (-60 to -50Â°F) and zone 13 representing the warmest (60 to 70Â°F). Each zone is further divided into an âaâ and âbâ zone. The hardiness zones provide baseline information for gardener and landscapers looking to choose landscape plants for their location. The new map replaces the earlier USDA hardiness zone map that was released in 1990. There are several features of the new map that are improvements on the old map. First, the new map integrates more complete and up-to-date climatic data so it offers a better representation of current climate conditions.
WTOP's origins trace back to Brooklyn, New York, as station WTRC (operated by the Twentieth [District] Republican Club), going to air September 25, 1926, on 1250 kilocycles with a power of 50 watts.
