Open Air Grape Culture (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Open Air Grape Culture: A Practical Treatise on the Garden and Vineyard Culture of the VineThis being our object, we have endeavored to modify and adapt the practice and principles of others to our own climate and wants, and to simplify and explain the processes of the ptofss sioual gardener so that he who reads may practice. To this end we have in general avoided theoretical discussions, and have depended chiefly upon the practice of ourselves and others for the directions here laid down. For although wb know that well established principles are the only sure foundation of all right practice, this is not the place for discussing the theoretical grounds upon which these principles rest. A practical work should deal with facts and be a guide to action.As the garden culture of the vine, at least in the northern States, differs from that in the vineyard only in the more thorough preparation of the ground and the larger size of the plants, we have not formally divided the work into sections cor responding to these two classes, as the principles which govern both are precisely alike.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
