BULLETIN 861, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



Makket Outlets and Distribution. 



The general tendency is to ship toward the North and West, but 

 shipments commonly go as far east as Detroit and as far south as 

 Oklahoma and Texas. Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and 

 Missouri receive the bulk of their early supplies from the Missouri 

 y alley and the Ozark sections, and shipments often reach points in 

 Colorado. Montana, and the Dakotas. During 1918, a short-crop 

 year, data furnished to the Bureau of Markets by the various origi- 

 nating railroads show that the shipments from Missouri, Iowa, Kan- 

 sas, and Arkansas reached 13 States and 36 different cities. (See 

 Appendix.) 



THE ATLANTIC STATES. 



Location of Producing Sections. 



Grapes are grown in almost every county of the Atlantic States, 

 but in only a few sections are they produced in quantities large 

 enough to furnish carlot shipments. A few scattered carloads are 

 shipped out of New Jersey, Virginia, and North Carolina, but in no- 

 eastern States except New York and Delaware does grape production 

 assume the proportions of a specialized industry. 



Table 9 shows the full carloadings at different stations throughout 

 this territory, as reported to this bureau by the various originating 

 railroads.

Varieties. 



The States of Delaware and New Jersey furnish early supplies to 

 the eastern markets. The standard varieties — the Concord, Niagara, 

 Delaware, Catawba, Worden, and Champion — make up the bulk of 

 the acreage; but the Ives, Wyoming, Diamond, Lindley, and Goethe
