 s Includes hazelnuts, butternuts, almonds, chestnuts and other nuts. 



TIxe total quantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 1,137,000 bushels, 

 valued at $943,000. Apples contributed 

 nearly two-thirds of this quantity; 

 peaches and nectarines most of the re- 

 mainder. The production of grapes in 

 1909 amounted to 3,763,000 pounds, val- 

 ued at $122,000, and the production of 

 nuts to 1,019,000 pounds, valued at 

 $62,000. 



The production of all orchard fruits 

 together in 1909 was 72 per cent more 

 in quantity than that in 1899, while the 

 production of grapes decreased decidedly. 

 The value of orchard fruits increased 

 from $383,000 in 1899 to $943,000 in 



1909, while that of grapes decreased from 

 $135,000 in 1899 to $122,000 in 1909. It 

 should be noted that the values for 1899 

 include the value of more advanced prod- 

 ucts 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. 



The following table shows the quan- 

 tities of the more advanced products 

 manufactured by farmers from orchard 

 fruits and grapes. Values were not called 

 for on the schedule.
