ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL HORTICULTURE 



paring one year with the other the num- 

 ber of trees or vines of bearing age is 

 on the whole a better index of the gen- 

 eral changes or tendencies than the quan- 

 tity of product, but the data for the cen- 



suses of 1910 and 1900 are not closely 

 comparable, and the product is therefore 

 compared, although variations may be 

 due largely to temporarily favorable or 

 unfavorable climatic conditions:

The total quantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 1,090,000 bushels, 

 valued at $1,061,000. Peaches and nec- 

 tarines contributed about two-thirds of 

 this quantity; apples, pears and plums 

 and prunes most of the remainder. The 

 production of grapes in 1909 amounted 

 to 1,803,000 pounds, valued at $78,000, 

 and that of nuts to 5,946,000 pounds, val- 

 ued at $563,000 The tropical fruits pro- 

 duced in 1909 were valued at $123,000. 



The production of all orchard fruits 

 together in 1909 was 53.8 per cent less 

 in quantity than in 1899, and the produc- 

 tion of grapes also decreased. The value 

 of orchard fruits decreased from 



$1,345,000 in 1899 to $1,061,000 in 1909, 

 and that of grapes from $126,355 in 1899 

 to $78,325 in 1909. It should be noted 

 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. 



The following table shows the quanti- 

 ties of the more advanced products man- 

 ufactured by farmers from orchard fruits 

 and grapes. Values were not called for 

 on the schedule:
