ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL HORTICULTURE 



tendencies than the quantity of product, 

 but the data for the censuses of 1910 

 and 1900 are not closely comparable, and 

 the product is therefore compared, al- 

 though variations may be due largely to 

 temporarily favorable or unfavorable cli- 

 matic conditions. 



The total CLuantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 1,634,000 bushels, 

 valued at $1,326,000. Peaches and nec- 

 tarines contributed about two-thirds of 

 this quantity, apples, plums and prunes, 

 and pears most of the remainder. The 

 production of grapes in 1909 amounted to 

 760,563 pounds, valued at $44,262, and 

 that of nuts to 866,504 pounds, valued at 

 $90,855. 



The production of all orchard fruits 

 together in 1909 was 167.5 per cent more 

 in quantity than that in 1899, while the 

 production of grapes decreased materi- 

 ally. The value of orchard fruits in- 

 creased from $440,000 in 1899 to $1,326,- 

 000 in 1909, and that of grapes from 

 $39,277 in 1899 to $44,262 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, such as cider, vin- 

 egar, dried fruits, and the like, and may 

 involve some duplication, while the 

 values shown for 1909 relate only to the 

 products in their original condition.
