NEW HAMPSHIRE "About this time â1800 to 1810âthe apple orchards iii towu wliich had been eai-ly set out, produced apples in abundance, which were made into cider. Every man had his orchard, and every tenth man his cider-mill. Every well-to-do farmer put into his cellar yearly from 20 to 50 barrels of cider which was all drunk on the premises. Col. John Bellows had an orchard of 30 a<Tes. the largest in town. In 1805 there were 4,800 bar- rels of cider made and every drop drunk in ; At the present time a good many old and somewhat nej^lected apple orchards are to be found, and these often bear good crops of marketable fruit. At the annual meeting of the New Hampshire Horticultural Society in January, 1899, it was estimated that .$2,000,000 worth of apples were exported from the state in 1898. Of these about one-half were raised in the two south- eastern counties âStrafford and Rockingham. The varieties most commonly grown for export are Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening. Northern Spy, Fameuse, Blue Pearmain, Yellow Bellflower. and King. The newer varieties are of course being introduced, but very few large orchards are being set. Summer and full apples are abundant for local consumption. Very little has been done in a commircial way with the drupaceous fruits.
