TO THE VITICULTURISTS AND OTHER FAEMEES OF CALIFOENIA. 



This pamphlet is respectfully dedicated to the viticulturists 

 and farmers of the State of California, to whom all who desire to 

 witness the rapid advancement of industry and good society, and 

 the creation of happy and -comfortable homes for our people, 

 earnestly appeal for continued intelligent exertions in ascertaining 

 and demonstrating the practical possibilities of agriculture. The 

 object of this work is not to create controversy, or to maintain a 

 pet theory, but to stimulate experiment in the field of scientific 

 agriculture and to induce the wanderer to settle down under his 

 own vine and fig tree.
