BULLETINS OF THE ELEVENTH CENSUS. 483 



noted that the average number of all nonbearing trees is about double that 

 of the bearing trees, the value of whose product was $14,116,226.59 dur- 

 ing the census year, divided as follows: almond $1,525,109.80; banana 

 $280,653.75, cocoanut $251,217.41, fig $307,271.76. lemon $988,099.92, lime 

 $62,496.90, madeira nut $1,256,958. olive $386,368.32, orange $6,602,099.06, 

 pineapple $812,159.17, pomelo $27,216, and pecan $1,616,576.50. 



On the basis of present prices, with all the nonbearing trees in fruitage, 

 the next census ought to show a value of product of more than $50,000,000, 

 and as the nursery census shows of young trees ready for planting 64,128 

 limes, 103,600 pomelo, 328,016 olives. 641,322 lemons, and 5,209,313 

 oranges, or enough to plant over 70.000 acres, a partial forecast may be 

 made of what may be expected in the future, especially when these facts 

 are studied in connection with the tables showing estimated acres of land 

 thought to be suitable for planting with the various products enumerated. 



Note. — Much matter of value in certain localities other than Michigan 

 has been excluded from these pages, and much of detail that might inter- 

 est a few specialists. These may obtain the bulletins in full, by address- 

 ing Supt. Porter, or may eventually find the whole in the completed cen- 

 sus reports. — Secretary.
