| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains a comprehensive catalogue of American Grape vines, with information on propagation, grafting, planting, pruning, harvesting, pests and diseases, and many other related aspects. Beautifully illustrated and full of useful and interesting information, this volume would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature, and is not to be missed by collectors. Contents include: "Climate, Soil and Aspects", "the True Grape-Vines of the Unites States", "Hybridity", "Viticultural Remarks", "Hybrids", "Preparing the Soil", "Planting", "Grafting", "The Scion", "Summer Pruning", "Fall or Winter Pruning", "Subsequent Management", et cetera. Many vintage books like this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on winemaking. |
