ON VINERIES. 



If it be true that one fact is worth a thousand argu- 

 ments, it is hoped it will not be thought presumptuous 

 to conclude that this work will be found of some ad- 

 vantage to those who are seeking for information on 

 the culture of the vine; inasmuch, as it deals almost exclu- 

 sively with facts, and is the result of long years of anxious 

 thought and toil, which have, however, been rewarded by 

 the attainment of a perfection of grape-growing recognised 

 by Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen and other crowned 

 heads of Europe, the Pope of Rome, and the President 

 of the United States of America, as well as by the 

 leading horticultural societies of the United Kingdom 

 and the Continent.
