Small fruits: 1909 and 1S99. The next 

 table shows data with regard to small 

 fruits on farms. 



Strawberries are by far the most im- 

 portant of the small fruits grown in 

 New Hampshire, with the raspberries and 

 loganberries ranlving next. The total 

 acreage of small fruits in 1909 was 618, 

 and in 1899, 730, a decrease of 15.3 per 

 cent. The production in 1909 was 998,- 

 000 quarts, as compared with 1,230,000 

 quarts in 1899, and the value $107,000, as 

 compared with $117,000. 



1 Acres reported in small fractions. 



Orchard fruits, grapes and nuts: 1909 

 and 1899. The following table presents 

 data with regard to orchard fruits, 

 grapes and nuts. The acreage devoted to 

 these products was not ascertained. In 

 comparing one year with the other the 

 number of trees or vines of bearing age 

 is on the whole a better index of the 



general changes or tendencies than the 

 quantity of product, but the data for the 

 censuses of 1910 and 1900 are not close- 

 ly comparable, and the product is there- 

 fore compared, although variations may 

 be due largely to temporarily favorable 

 or unfavorable climatic conditions.
