 ' Included with "unclassified."

The total quantity of orchard fruits 

 produced in 1909 was 6,581,000 bushels, 

 valued at $3,582,000. Apples contributed 

 more than nine-tenths of this quantity, 

 peaches and nectarines and cherries most 

 of the remainder. The production of 

 grapes in 1909 amounted to 4,109,000 

 pounds, valued at $156,000, and that of 

 nuts to 842,000 pounds, valued at $22,000. 

 The tropical fruits in 1909 were valued 

 at $9,705, 



The production of all orchard fruits to- 

 gether in 1909 was 37.3 per cent less in 

 quantity than that in 1899, while the 

 production of grapes increased materially. 

 The value of orchard fruits increased 



from $2,662,000 in 1899 to $3,582,000 in 

 1909, and that of grapes from $88,000 in 

 1899 to $156,000 in 1909. It should be 

 noted that the values for 1899 include 

 the value of more advanced products de- 

 rived 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.
