THE GRAPE VINE 
By FREDERIC MOHR, 
Doctor of Philosophy and Medicine. 
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN, 
AND ACCOMPANIED WITH 
SI inis osi tlic I’romagiitioii 
General Treatment of Am¬ 
erican Varieties. 
By IIORTICOLA. 
This work is mainly devoted to the most element¬ 
ary matters. It explains the structure and mode 
of growtli of the vine so clearly that no intelligent 
person who reads it need he In doubt what to do 
with his vines. It has been well translated, and a 
chapter on the propagation of American varieties 
has been substituted for the original one on multi¬ 
plying t lie European Grape. As anatomy is the 
foundation of surgery, so is a knowledge of tbe 
structure of the vine to tbe vine-dresser. In both 
cases, it is as important to know when and where 
to cut and how.
