ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL HORTICULTURE 



old orchards and to encourage the adop- 

 tion of new methods for the new ones. 

 The industry is now reviving and many 

 commercial orchards are being planted. 



The sections of the state where most 

 apples are grown are the lake region, 

 the Ohio River region and along the 

 smaller streams that empty into the 

 Ohio, such as Muskingum, Scioto and 

 Miami. 



There are few peaches grown in the 

 state for commercial purposes, except 

 along the lake, the most profitable sec- 



tion being Catawba Island. The lake re- 

 gion is also the most profitable section 

 for the growing of grapes, the counties 

 of Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Erie, Ottawa, 

 Lucas and Loraine producing most of 

 the grapes shipped out of the state. 



Trucking is profitable in the muck and 

 reclaimed swamp soils of Hardin, Huron, 

 Medina, Wayne, Cuyahoga, Summit and 

 Stark counties, and celery, cabbages, 

 onions, tomatoes, etc., are shipped in 

 considerable quantities.
