able, and the product is therefore com- 

 pared, although variations may be due 

 largely to temporarily favorable or un- 

 favorable climatic conditions. 



The total quantity of orchard fruits pro- 

 duced in 1909 was 15,220,000 bushels, val- 

 ued at $9,021,000. Apples contributed about 

 four-fifths of this quantity, peaches and 

 nectarines and pears most of the remaind- 

 er. The production of grapes in 1909 

 amounted to 120,696,000 pounds, valued 

 at $1,531,000, and of nuts to 961,000 

 pounds valued at $19,000. Most of the 

 nuts consisted of black walnuts, hickory 

 nuts, and butternuts. 



The production of all orchard fruits 



together in 1909 was 54.4 per cent more 

 than in 1899, while the production of 

 grapes was about three times as great 

 in 1909 as in 1899. The value of orchard 

 fruits increased from $3,676,000 in 1899 

 to $9,021,000 in 1909, and of grapes from 

 $503,000 in 1899 to $1,531,000 in 1909. It 

 should be noted in this connection that 

 the values for 1899 include the value of 

 more advanced products derived from 

 orchard fruits or grapes, such 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.
