Vineyard Culture. 



methods of culture of the Vine, as practiced by the most 

 intelligent vineyardists in Europe, with full details of all 

 operations > from the preparation of the soil till the gathering 

 of the vintage. 



The work has been carefully edit-ed by Dr. John A. Warder, 

 an acknowledged authority, and the American variations of 

 practice noted and explained in full, adapting the work to the 

 different soils, the more extensive range of climate, and the 

 varieties of grapes most esteemed here. Dr. W.'s list of 

 American vines and their characteristics, and the methods of 

 pruning, are particularly valuable. 



The American Journal of Horticulture. 



Aside from the reputation of the author of this book, the me-e fact that 

 Dr. Warder has seen fit to edit it, and introduce it to the American horti- 

 cultural public, is sufficient proof that the work has intrinsic value. 



We value the work for two reasons : First, it gives us a clear and com- 

 prehensive idea of the methods of cultivation approved and practiced by the 

 highest authorities in Europe; and, second, the notes interspersed correct 

 what might mislead us, and of themselves form an excellent vine manual. 

 Dr. Warder can not treat any subject superficially, or so as to make it dull. 



The book is finely printed on tinted paper, well illustrated, and, in gen- 

 eral, very creditable to the enterprising firm by which it is published.

Every intelligent vine-grower must be profited by the perusal of such a 

 book. It seems to have no special theories to support, but simply to record 

 the facts derived from observation, with attendant circumstances on which 

 they are based. Dr. Warder's annotations are often of considerable length, 

 and appear to be exactly what such a work requires to suit it to the wants 

 of an American reader. 



Cincinnati Gazette. 



"The publishers are particularly fortunate in having for their editor 

 Dr. Warder, whose reputation as a horticultural writer is national, and who 

 is known to us at the West as a practical and experienced vineyardist. His 

 notes to the work are quite copious, forming, perhaps, one-sixth of the book. 

 They are inserted in the text, forming, as they occur, a continuous treat- 

 ment, from an American standpoint, of the subject under consideration.
