ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL HORTICULTURE 



1 Expressed in bushels for orchard fruits and pounds for grapes and nuts. 



' Included with "unclassified." 



' Consists of products not separately named by the enumerator, but grouped under the designation "ail other.' 



* Includes chestnuts, almonds, hazelnuts and beechnuts. 



The total quantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 2,764,000 bushels, 

 valued at $2,074,000. Apples contributed 

 more than nine-tenths of this quantity; 

 peaches and pears most of the remainder. 

 The production of grapes and nuts was 

 relatively unimportant. The nuts con- 

 sisted chiefly of black walnuts, butter- 

 nuts, and hickory nuts. 



The value of orchard fruits increased 

 from $1,171,000 in 1899 to $2,074,000 in 

 1909, but that of grapes declined from 

 $35,685 in 1899 to $30,858 in 1909. It 



should be noted in this connection that 

 the values for 1899 include the value of 

 more advanced products derived from or- 

 chard fruits or grapes, such as cider, 

 vinegar, dried fruits, and the like, and 

 may therefore involve some duplication, 

 while the values shown for 1909 relate 

 only to the products in their original con- 

 dition. 



The following table shows the quan- 

 tities of the more advanced products man- 

 ufactured by farmers from orchard fruits 

 and grapes. Values were not called for 

 on the schedule. 



Sugar crops: 1909 and 1899. The table 

 below shows data with regard to maple 

 trees and their products, and also for 

 sugar beets and sorghum cane, which in 



this state are unimportant. The total 

 value of maple sugar and sirup produced 

 in 1909 was $77,559, as compared with 

 $48,236 in 1899.
