 state for commercial purposes, except 

 along the lake, the most profitable sec-

 for the growing of grapes, the counties 

 of Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Erie, Ottawa, 

 Lucas and Loraine producing most of 

 the grapes shipped out of the state.

 reclaimed swamp soils of Hardin, Huron, 

 Medina, Wayne, Cuyahoga, Summit and 

 Stark counties, and celery, cabbages, 

 onions, tomatoes, etc., are shipped in 

 considerable quantities.
