 STATISTICS OF VlNEYARDS. 



IN accordance with a resolution of the Horticultural Society 

 of Cincinnati, passed at its last session, calling on the Presi- 

 dent and Council to report on the extent of the interest at 

 this time engaged in the wine business in the neighborhood 

 of Cincinnati, we submit the following report : 



Of the number of acres now under cultivation in vines, we 

 are not, as yet, prepared to give an exact account, as the en- 

 tire statistics of the county have not been fully made out since 

 1845. In that year (see Report of Wine Committee) there 

 were eighty-three vineyards, covering an area of three hun- 

 dred and fifty acres. In that year alone, one hundred acres 

 were prepared and planted, and the number of acres brought 

 under cultivation has been steadily and rapidly increasing 

 every year since. The great number of new vineyards com- 

 menced since 1845, some of which embrace twenty-five to 

 thirty acres, with the annual enlargement of those previously 

 planted, will swell the aggregate amount to not less than 

 twelve hundred acres. From the statistics already in our 

 possession, we can safely say that this is within the actual 

 amount.
