The  Vine. 
§HE  Yitis  vinifera,  or  the  Grape 
^  Vine,  -which  is  by  far  the  most 
important  of  all  the  species  of 
the  genus  Vitis,  is  probably 
iu(3igeDOus  between  the  Black 
and  the  Caspian  Seas,  though  its 
native  habitat  is  not  known  with 
any  degree  of  certainty.  Its  chief  use 
of  having  the  juice  expressed  into  wine 
is  very  ancient.  Thus  we  have  the  making  of 
wine  recorded  over  4000  years  ago. 
The  Phoenicians  seem  to  have  introduced  it 
into  Europe Greece  aud  Italy  first  adopting 
it,  and  thence  it  spread  to  France  and  Germany. 
It  is  cultivated  iu  the  latter  country  up  to 
1000ft,  while  ou  the  south  side  of  the  Alps  it 
succeeds  very  well  to  the  greater  height  of 
2000ft,  aud  ou  the  slopes  of  the  Apennines  and 
Sicilian  mountains  the  Grape  renders  a  good 
account  of  itself  to  the  considerable  altitude  of 
5000ft;  yet  this  height  is  easily  beaten  in 
India,  where  on  the  Himalayas  it  is  cultivated 
up  to  10,000ft.-  Soil  probably  has  more  to  do 
with  the  flavour  aud  colour  of  the  Grape  than 
almost  any  other  product.  This  is  seen  by  the 
wines  of  certain  districts,  wlietber  in  France, 
Germany,  Italy,  or  other  countries,  differing  to 
an  extraordinary  extent  iu  character,  merit, 
and  appreciation,  even  though  they  be  pro- 
I  duced  iu  the  same  climate,  under  the  same 
!  aspect,  aud  with  similar  culture — iu  fact,  under 
j  precisely  the  same  couditions,  with  the  one 
I  exception  of  the  soil  being  of  a  different 
nature.  Just  as  in  England  we  have  clay  aud 
!  sand,  or  gravel  infields  and  vicinities  almost 
side  by  side,  so,  too,  the  texture  aud  fabric  of 
Vine  bearing  parts  may  vary,  and  be  as  diverse 
iu  their  character  as  chalk  is  from  cheese. 
Travelling  from  place  to  place  in  such 
countries  oue  cau  abundantly  realize  the  merits 
aud  demerits  of  the  vino  del  paese,  aud  wheu 
you  happen  to  strike  a  particular  district  where 
"D  EADERS  are  requosted  to  send  notices  of  Oardanlng
