PRODUCTION OF FRUITS. 



The total value jof all fruits producefl in the United States in 1909, 

 according to the Thirteenth Census, was $218,000,000, which was 

 equivalent to about one-third the value of the wheat crop of that 

 year. Deciduous tree fruits furnished 65 per cent of the total fruit 

 value, small fruits 14 per cent, citrus fruits 10 per cent, grapes 10 per 

 cent, and tropical and subtropical, other than citrus, 1 per cent. 



Fifty-nine per cent of the value of deciduous tree fruits was derived 

 from apples, 60 per cent of the small fruits from strawberries, 77 per 

 cent of the citrus fruits from oranges, and 97 per cent of the tropical 

 and subtropical fruits, other than citrus fruits, from figs, pineapples, 

 and olives. 



The production of deciduous tree fruits, small fruits, and grapes was 

 widely distributed. In the case of citrus fruits and other tropical 

 and subtropical fruits, however, the production was confined chiefly 

 to California and Florida.
