Excerpt from Culture of the GrapeThe general principles of grape-culture are well understood, and yet there are differences of opin ion, di¿erent 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
