BULLETIN 193. THE BEST WINE GRAPES FOR CALIFORNIA. 145 



policy to plant something that has not already been planted in too 

 large quantities, providing it is something suitable and for which there 

 will be a demand. Moreover, a larger number of kinds ripening at 

 different times would be a great convenience in a large vineyard, by 

 allowing the gathering of the grapes to extend over a longer period. 



Finally, a few suggestions as to what " not to do." 



Don't plant Mataro, Feher Szagos, Charbono, Lenoir, or any variety 

 which makes a poor wine everywhere. 



Don't plant Burger, Green Hungarian, Mourastel, Grenache, or any 

 common heavy-bearing varieties on the hill slopes of the Coast Ranges. 

 Vineyards in such situations must produce fine wines, or they will not 

 be profitable. 



Don't plant Chardonay, Pinot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, or any 

 light-bearing varieties in rich valley soils. No variety will make fine, 

 high-priced wine in such situations, and heavy bearers are essential to 

 the production of cheap wine. 



Don't plant Zinfandel, Alicante Bouschet, or any of the varieties 

 which have already been planted in large quantities, unless one is sure 

 that the conditions of his soil and locality are peculiarly favorable to 

 these varieties and will allow him to compete successfully.
