MISSOURI. 
With Contributions from Well-known 
Grape Growers, giving 
A Wide Range of Experience. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
Tlie work is a complete guide for novices in the culture of 
the Vine, aud at the same time may he regarded as a sum¬ 
ming up of everything of importance, and value bearing 
upon tliis industry. Special attention is devoted to tlie 1 
Phylloxera, whose destruction of tlie roots of vines bad 
very -much to do in bringing on tlie collapse of grape 
growing, and the destruction of tlie vineyards of France. 
Tlie experiments' and discoveries of Husmann and his asso¬ 
ciates in-connection* with'this destructive'little insect, are, • 
for the first time, presented in this volume, and will prove 
of incalculable benefit to the grape growing interests of this 
and other lands. 
The book is copiously illustrated with sketches-from tlie 
author,-which-add-materially to its value.
