 planted to Riparia, 13 acres, of which 5 are grafted and bearing and 8 are grafted and 

 not bearing; Mondeuse and Sauvignon Vert grafts do well; soil loam; vineyard low 

 lying; crop, 9 tons. 



" Am not much in favor of extended replanting, as the outlook is poor. Riparia is 

 favored, and consider it the only salvation of vineyardists. 



Mrs. J. M. Meridith, Napa. Total, 15 acres; all in bearing; will replant 3 acres; infested 

 by phylloxera, 1 acre; soil gravelly; vineyard low lying; all European varieties succumb 

 alike; have used sulphate of iron, 1 pound to 10 gallons of water, for attacked vines, 

 applied to vines in the spring when tne ground is wet; crop, 25 tons. 



The effect of sulphate of iron wash could be seen for a year or two, but do not 

 know if the benefit will be permanent. Shall continue to use this application, but do 

 not know as it will fully restore the diseased vines. 



G. Migliavacca, Napa. Cooperage (estimated), 450,000 gallons, of which 50,000 is oak 

 and 400^000 redwood. 



Estate of John F. Miller (Mrs. Clover), Napa. Total, 50 acres; in bearing, 35 acres; will 

 replant about 5 acres; infested by phylloxera, 5 acres, of which 3 are good for only one 

 year; planted to Riparia, 40 acres, of which 35 are grafted and in bearing and 5 acres 

 grafted but not bearing; the Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan grafts have done well, 

 but the^urgundy has not been as successful; soil loam; vineyard low lying; the attacked 

 vines have been dug out from year to year; crop, 52 tons. 



The resistants at this vineyard have done well, and there is every indication of their 

 being a continued success. The Riparia is a favorite stock. 



Parker Estate, Napa. Total, 50 acres; in bearing, 40 acres; infested by phylloxera, 25 

 acres, of which 20 acres are badly eaten and will last only one year more; soil heavy loam; 

 vineyard low lying; no pains taken with attacked vines; crop, 90 tons. 



This vineyard is going very rapidly. - Two years ago the phylloxera commenced 

 working in 75 acres of thrifty vines. It is very doubtful if any care is given the vine- 

 yard after 1893. This is only one of many vineyards in the lower valley that will be 

 entirely destroyed in a year or two.

 light loam; vineyard mountain; exposure north and east; crop, 40 tons; cooperage, 

 16,000 gallons, of which 1,000 is oak and 15,000 redwood. 



Vineyard is 1,700 feet above tidewater at Napa, and is among the redwoods. It is 

 growing finely. The resistants have succeeded well, and this year a box of grapes from 

 every three or four vines has been gathered, one year from the grafting. Riparia is in 

 the most favor. Rupestris is slower, and the Lenoir is least esteemed as a grafting stock.

vineyard upland; exposure east and south; crop, 11 tons. 



Planted my first Riparia several years ago. When I set them out I had 1,000 vines in 

 the vineyard not on resistant roots. Every one of them long since died, being killed by 

 phylloxera. I have not noticed a single resistant vine that appears unhealthy. 1 

 grafted at two years old. The Riparia has great vitality. When I planted the vineyard 

 1 set it out solid; afterwards I took out every twenty-fifth row. I made one mistake or 

 rather the grafters did. The grafts placed too deep all died.
