THE GRAPE VINE. 



BY FREDERICK MOHR, 



DOOTOE OF PHILOSOPHY AND MEDICINE. 



Translated from the German, and accompanied with Hints 



on the Propagation and General Treatment of 



American Varieties. 



BY H OH TIC OH, A. 



This work is mainly devoted to the most elementary matters. It ex- 

 plains the structure ana mode of growth of the vine so clearly that no 

 intelligent person who reads it need be in doubt what to do with his 

 vines. It has been well translated, and a chapter on the propagation 

 of American varieties has been substituted for the original one on multi- 

 plying the European grape. As anatomy is the foundation of surgery, 

 so is a knowledge of the structure of the vine to the vine-dresser. In 

 both cases, it is as important to know when and where to cut and how.
