value of S559,000. A very large proportion of the fruit was 

 shipped to Germany as above indicated. 



Russia. — Considerable quantities of peaches are grown 

 in some parts of Russia, but no statistics are available. 



Turkey} — No statistics are available, but according to 

 the report noted they are grown in a limited way in the 

 region of Constantinople, especially along the Bosphorus 

 and the Marmora Sea. Evidently the climate is not un- 

 favorable in some parts of Turkey for peaches; at least in 

 1911 more than 1,000,000 ^ pounds of dried apricots were 

 exported. Doubtless, peaches could be grown wherever 

 the apricot succeeds. 



Spain. — The latest official figures, which are for 1910, show 

 an area of 13,000 acres devoted to peaches, which yielded 

 (supposedly in 1910) about 21,000 tons of fruit. For the 

 years 1909-1913, peaches having an average annual value 

 of $23,000 were exported. 



United Kingdom. — About 93 per cent of the acreage 

 devoted to fruit in the United Kingdom is in England. 

 Peaches, however, in the limited extent to which they do 

 occur are grown mostly in gardens and against walls. The 

 peach is used but little in the United Kingdom evidently, 

 since the average annual value of the imports of both apri- 

 cots and peaches for the years 1909-1913 was barely more 

 than $200,000. 



Asia. 



Japan. — The average number of peach trees in Japan 

 during the five years 1909 to 1913 was about 6,330,000,
