Delaware State Soil
Greenwich Series - Delaware State Soil. A state soil is represented by a soil
series that has special significance to a particular state. Each state in the
United States has selected a state soil, many of which have been legislatively
established. These "Official State Soils" share the same level of distinction as
official state flowers and birds.
