Excerpt from A Manual on the Culture of the Grape: With a Dissertation on the Growth and Management of Fruit Trees, Adapted to the Northern States I shall not attern t to give a botanical descrip tion of the. Grape ine. It is called the Vitis Vinifera of Europe, and some have supposed our American Vines to have had the same origin. There are some forty species, and an immense number of varieties. The practice in foreign vine yards of having different species and varieties in contiguity, would naturally cause an intermingling of numerous kinds with slight shades of difference. There is no period in the history of man, in which the Vine is not mentioned in language of grateful testimony that it is a blessing of the high est value. Its fruitfulness and its qualities, were well known in the days of Noah, and in all subse quent periods of time. Scripture in numerous instances has language peculiarly drawn from the culture of grapes and the wine - the pruning of the Vine - the treading of the grapes, which was the ancient method, and the wine press, are all incorporated with sacred writ. It is stated that a Helvetian named Helicon first made known the properties of the Vine at Rome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
