ENCYCLOPEDIA OK riiACPlCAL, HORTICULTURE 



of 1910 and 1900 are not closoly com- 

 parable, and the product is therefore 

 compared, although variations may be 

 duo largely to temporarily favorable or 

 unfavorable climatic conditions. 



The total quantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 2,344,000 bushels, 

 valued at |2,087,000. Apples contributed 

 about 95 per cent of this quantity; cher- 

 ries most of the remainder. The produc- 

 tion of grapes in 1909 amounted to 701,- 

 329 pounds, valued at $25,537, and that 

 of nuts to 609,428 pounds, valued at $1S,- 

 196. The nuts consisted mostly of hick- 

 ory nuts. 



The production of all orchard fruits 



together in 1909 was nearly seven times 

 as great in quantity as that in 1899, and 

 the production of grapes also increased 

 materially. The value of orchard fruits 

 increased from $267,000 in 1899 to 

 ii;2,087,000 in 1909, and that of grapes 

 from $15,173 in 1899 to $25,537 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, sucli 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 

 condition.
