This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of American Grape Culture In the fall of 1873, the writer visited the vineyards of Dr. Robert Peter, residing near Lexington, Kentucky. In these vineyards were all the leading and nearly all the then introduced varieties of American grapes. The vines were bearing generally, and the fruit on nearly all was ripe or ripening. The Doctor, having been my instructor in Chemistry in Kentucky State Agricultural College, in which I had completed the scientific course in 1870, discoursed freely upon the character of vine and fruit of the varieties. It seemed to me that there might be numerous combinations, which would naturally occur in such a vineyard, and that one could expect some of the seedlings grown from such crossed seeds to turn out better than any in the vineyard, by combination of excellencies of both parents in the crossed. This re ection aroused within me a strong desire to test the matter. The Doctor gave me clusters of all wished, some thirty or forty kinds. The seeds of these were carefully saved, separately labeled, and noted as to varieties standing near the vine which bore the seeds. These seeds were planted at my new home in Nebraska, but the season and other conditions being adverse, all were lost, yet the kindled ame of passion for experimentation continued to burn. The timbered belts along the streams of that bleak country were ransacked for the few wild grapes growing there, and the vines bearing the best fruit were marked to be removed to vineyard and later hybridized with larger berried kinds, as the only species there (v. 'vulpina) has small berries, although often quite sweet, and pure-in quality. However, a series of years of adversity - with drouth, intensely hard winters, and grasshoppers, - coming on, further experimentation there in that line was dropped.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grape Culture, Wines, and Wine-Making: With Notes Upon Agriculture and Horticulture I submit this work to the kind indulgence of the people of California. The short time allowed me to complete a work of such magnitude and importance will, I hope, serve as a partial excuse for its defects. To make a tour through a large portion of Europe - examine and collect information - select vines and trees - write the following work, with many of the extracts translated from eminent foreign authors and reports of scientific committees, I was allowed, including my journey to Europe and my return, but seven months and twenty-five days. The task was augmented by extensive and necessary correspondence with government officials, scientific societies, and eminent writers. During this time I have allowed myself little time for rest or recreation; and if I have succeeded in fulfilling my duty to my State and to her people, I shall feel myself amply rewarded. I plead for a lenient judgment on the work on account of my defective English, being a native of Hungary, although a naturalized American citizen, which will, I hope, fully explain this unavoidable defect. That my readers will understand my meaning without difficulty is all that I dare hope. The translations contained in the work were, in most cases, necessarily literal, and therefore presented difficulties not easily overcome. With these explanations, the author presents his work to the agricultural public, sincerely hoping that future experience may not belie present promises, but that the matter upon which it treats may prove a valuable and an enduring source of wealth to the American horticulturist and farmer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Culture of the Grape, and Wine-Making Three editions of this little treatise, within a year, being required to supply the demand for it, would seem to indicate that the public interest in Grape Culture is on the increase. The author therefore deems it his duty to give the result of his own experience, and that of his fellow-members of the "Wine-growers' Association," in vineyard culture during the past year. It was found that the severe frosts of January and February, 1852 - 8 to 12 below zero - killed many of the grape buds in warm exposed situations, and several vineyards in Kentucky, a few miles south of this city, scarcely produced any fruit. The hard frosts of the 18th and 19th of March did not injure the grape buds, although many apples, such as the yellow Belleflower, were killed in the opening bud; all the peaches, many of the pears, and most of the cherries were destroyed. The frosts of the middle of April and second week in May injured the young shoots of the vine, especially in low situations or near moisture, and in the rows near grass but with all these visitations from frosts, the grape crop was a very promising one until attacked by the rot, the second week in July, and subsequently the first week in August - the latter but slight. This disease appeared to affect those vineyards most, that were in low situations, or not fully exposed to a free circulation of air, either from close planting or otherwise. High manuring, deep hoeing or plowing, and a want of summer pruning at the right time, it was thought, increased the liability to rot. This disease, or something like it, prevailed in many parts of Europe, last year, where it had scarcely been known before, and in the island of Madeira caused an almost entire failure of the grape crop. In this vicinity it cut off about half of the average crop, reducing the product of the whole county to about one hundred gallons per acre. Some made more, but many less than that average.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culture of the Grape The general principles of grape-culture are well understood; and yet there are differences of opin ion, diflerent modes of pruning and training, which, however slight they may seem to be in themselves, become of great importance when applied to so vast an interest. It is with a desire to contribute my mite from my own experience that I have prepared this treatise. In order that the work may embrace the combined experience of practical and scientific minds, I have availed myself of such helps as were at hand, especially relying upon Prof. Harris for de scriptions of injurious insects, and upon numerous writers in our horticultural Monthlies for practical suggestions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cultivation of the Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines It is with a great deal of hesitation I undertake to write a book about Grapes, a subject which has been, and still is, elucidated every day; and about which we have already several works, which no doubt are more learned, more elaborate, than anything I may produce. But the subject is of such vast importance, and the area suitable for grape culture so large, the diversity of soil and climate so great, that I may be pardoned if I still think that I could be of some use to the beginner; it is for them, and not for my brethren of the craft more learned than I am, that I write. If they can learn any thing from the plain talk of a practical worker, to help them along in the good work, I am well repaid.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hyatt's Hand-Book of Grape Culture There is, perhaps, no employment more agreeable, or more remunerative, than the culture Of the vine. Its origin dates far back into the remote ages of antiquity; and it must have flour iehed in the garden Of Eden; and it seems not to have been a forbidden fruit, like the apple. And to Adam, God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face Of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit Of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. Gen. I.: 29, 31. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Grape Culture in Steuben County (Classic Reprint) written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grape Culture in Steuben County Previous to the year 1852, the vine received but little attention in this section of the State. Some gardens had one or two vines, which grew untrimmed and uncared for, running over the fence, or perhaps over the limbs of a tree. If they produced fruit it was used for preserves, and hardly an individual deemed it worthy of keeping for the winter for table use-so little taste had the good people for this, the richest and most wholesome of all fruits. It was the current opinion that our climate was unfavorable to the pro duction of grapes that were of any value as an article of food or for the manufacture of wine; that, what was grown would be deficient in sugar, and in the aroma peculiar to the perfectly matured article. The Opin ion also appertained that the European grape, of France, Spain, Italy and Germany, were the only varieties that were worthy of cultivation; and as these failed in our climate, the inference drawn was that we could not grow grapes. We had extremely imperfect ideas of the capacity of our climate for the growth of the vine, as well, in every respect, for its requirements. We did not understand that temperature is not a precise guide, but that other conditions also govern; and although our climate exceeds in humid ity the vine-growing districts of Europe, yet, our atmosphere is drier as a mean, and is certainly more dry and elastic. This alternation between humidity and dryness is probably the reason that the European grape will not flourish in our climate, and consequently these varieties are very much restricted in our country, particularly, east of the Rocky mountains. It is known that in Europe the cultivation of the vine has been pushed to the extreme limits of climatic capacity, and in sheltered valleys it is grown successfully far north of other places too cold and variable for its production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grape Culture The grape is one of the most satisfactory fruits to be grown upon the home plot of uhatever dimensions, and the fruit grower in Penn sylvania will find a vineyard an excellent producer of income. A single vine near a house is a horticultural ornament and a source of much pleasure when the fruit is ripe. A grape arbor multiplies the advantages, and will yield fruit for jellies. Jams and the table for a family. More to be desired is the small vineyard of 50 to 100 vines with varieties that ripen early and late, furnishing ripe, fruit from the first of August to the first of December, of the several colors and flavors of our modern varieties. The grape thrives in a variety of soils, so that no farm home and few others need to be deprived of this wholesome fruit. The notion that onlv experts can grow grapes is erroneous. Most of the grape growers began without experience or knowledge of grape culture and have found the work easy and the returns encouraging. This bulletin is prepared with a view to the needs and instruction of the beginner and amateur in grape culture as well as for the guidance of the commercial grower, who mav find here some suggestions that will be helpful in the midst of the grape troubles that arise. The expert needs no assistance and the writer will be pleased to have his criticism of this publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of American Grape-Growing Seventy-nine books on grapes enrich the pomology of North America, not counting numerous state and national publications. Pomological writers in America have been partial to the grape, for other fruits do not fare nearly so well. Twenty - two books are devoted to the strawberry, fourteen to the apple, to the peach nine, cranberry eight, plum five, pear nine, quince two, logan'berry one, while the cherry, raspberry, and blackberry are not once separated from other fruits in special books. Thus, though a comparative newcomer among the fruits of the country, the grape has been singled out for a treatise more times than all other fruits of temperate climates combined seventy-nine books on the grape, seventy on all other fruits. This statement of partiality does not lead to an apology for a new book on the grape. There is urgent need for a new book. But three of the seventy-nine treatises on this fruit are con temporary, and all but one, a handbook on training, are records from vanished minds. Methods change so rapidly and varieties multiply so fast, that to keep pace there must be new books on fruits every few years. Besides, the types of grapes are so diverse, and different soils, climates, and treatments produce such widely dissimilar results, that many books are required to do justice to this fruit the vineyard should be seen through many eyes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tokay Vineyard, Near Fayetteville N. C: With Essay on Grape-Culture by the Proprietor If one-half of what has been said and published in praise of this now celebrated spot and its products, by the press and by visitors generally, were collated in book-form, it would make a good-sized volume. Such is foreign to the purpose. But the writer may be pardoned for culling a few of the many compliments and complimentary descriptions so literally showered upon them. Curtailing that which is purely personal, he presents below a part of an article from "The Wine and Fruit Grower" (published in New York) of February, 1883. "Tokay Vineyard. - Tokay Vineyard is situated three miles and a half north of Fayetteville, N.C. It is said to be the largest single vineyard this side of the Rocky Mountains; and, speaking after a personal inspection, we pronounce it one of the loveliest locations that can be found anywhere on the continent. Such is the concurrent testimony of almost all visitors. "Situated on a broad, undulating tableland on the Cape Fear River, some two hundred feet above its ordinary level, and one hundred and fifty above the rich alluvial plantations on the opposite bank, the eye takes in a semicircular horizon of twenty odd miles in radius.
