PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. 



AGAIN we are called upon for our VINES AND VINE CULTURE, and 

 have to thank the gardening community for the continued highly 

 gratifying reception accorded to our work. We have endeavoured 

 to hring the present edition up to date by the introduction of 

 several new illustrations ; and fresh matter connected with the 

 subject of Commercial Grape Culture or the growing of Grapes for 

 sale, which has developed to such an extent during the past few years, 

 as to become one of the most important industries in the land.
