Cloth, 12* , Preparing. 



This is written as a complete popular treatise on grape-growing 

 in North America. It discusses the practical questions of climatic 

 limitations, choice of site, land and its preparation, fertilizing, 

 tillage, planting, pruning and training, and marketing. It also has 

 concise treatment of the diseases and the insects injurious to the 

 grape. Special attention is given to descriptions of the leading 

 commercial and amateur varieties. Part of the book is devoted to 

 the vinifera grape as grown in California. 



Professor Hedrick has had long experience in the study of the 

 .grape in all its aspects, and the book will be found to be a useful, 

 up-to-date manual of propagation, manipulation, and the handling of 

 the crop. It is well illustrated by full-page olates and also by en- 

 gravings in the text.
