History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
The varieties of dessert grapes on the continent are few : the best they have, as the Muscats and Frontignacs, 
have been obtained from this country. The Chasselas or frame grape (our Muscadine), is almost the only 
eating grape known in the Paris fruit market. In Britain, we have not only the best varieties, but we grow 
the fruit to a larger size and of a higher flavor than is done any where else in the world. This is owing to the 
perfection of our artificial climates, and the great attention paid to soil and subsoil, and other points of culture. 
The vine is universally propagated by cuttings, either a foot or more long, with a portion of two year old 
wood, or short with only one bud, or one bud and half a joint, &c. Varieties without end are raised from 
seed; and it is thought that by propagating from the seeds of successive generations some sorts may ultimately 
be procured better adapted for ripening their fruit in the open air than now known. A seedling vine carefully 
treated will show blossoms in its fourth or fifth year ; say that it produces a fair specimen of its fruit in the 
sixth year, then a new generation may be obtained so often. 
The vine will thrive in any dry soil, or in any soil with a dry subsoil ; but it produces the best flavored fruit 
among granitic and calcareous fragments, and loamy soil in thin strata, with little manure, and when the 
vine is old and the berry and bunch small : on the contrary, the most luxuriant crops, large bunches and 
berries, in a good depth of friable loam, dry below and richly manured with the strongest of animal manures. 
There are three methods of pruning the vine in hot-houses ; the fruit tree method, in which the plant is 
spread out in the fan manner, and treated like a common fruit tree ; the long or young wood method, in 
which all the wood above a year old is cut out down to the stool or stock ; and the spurring-in method, in 
which the fruit is produced from young wood grown annually from the sides of a main shoot or shoots of old 
wood. The two last methods are the best.. 
Vitis vulpina, the foxgrape, (so called from the foxy flavor of its berries) is cultivated much in North 
America, of which country it is a native. Many improved varieties have been raised by the American 
gardeners, and have been sent to Europe under the name of the Bland, the Isabella, the Oswego Tokay, 
&c. &c. ; but they are all tainted with the bad taste peculiar to the species, and can be in no estimation when 
even an early July grape is to be procured. 
502. Ampelopsis. From a.[ji/riXos, a vine, and o-^i?, resemblance. The genus resembles the vine in habit, 
leaves, and flowers ; is commonly employed for covering old walls, for which the rapidity of its growth renders 
it very suitable. 
503. Rhamnus. From the Celtic ram, signifying branching. From this word the Greeks have gained 
g«^v«ff, the Latins ramus, and the French rame, or in old French reim ; for which reason the arms of the
