Vineyard at Lakevievir; 
Or, Successful Grape Culture. 
To any one who wishes to grow grapes, whether a single 
vine or a vineyard, this hook is full of valuable teaclsings. 
The author gives not only his success, but what is of 
quite as much importance, liis failure. It tells just what 
the beginner in grape culture wishes to know, with tho 
charm that always attends the relation of personal ex¬ 
perience. 
It is especially valuable as giving an account of the 
processes actually followed in 
Celebrated drape li^cg'ions 
in "Western New York and on the shores and islands of 
Lake Erie. 
This book is noticed by a Avritcr in the Horticulturist 
for August last as follows : “ Two wwrks very different ia 
character and A'alue have just been published and seem to 
demand a passing notice. The better and loss pretentious 
of tho two.is ‘l.Iy Vineyard at Lakeview,’ a charming 
little book that professes to give tho actual experience of 
a western grape grower, detailing not only his cucccsses, 
but his blunders and failures. It is written in a pleasant 
style, without any attempt at display, and contains much 
advice that will prove useful to a beginner—the more use¬ 
ful, hecansQ derived from tho experience of a man who 
had no leisure for fanciful experiments, hut has been 
obliged to make his vineyard support himself and hi» 
family.”
