No other county approaches it in importance in regard to any one fruit, except Worcester in the case of plums and a few counties in the case of strawberries. The four groups of counties shown in the table include 75 per cent, of the orchards of the country, but some other counties have also considerable areas under one fruit or another. Special Mention may be made of the pears of Lancashire and Cheshire, the Plums of Huntingdon and Salop and the cherries of Buckingham.
