Synopsis

Both Sides Of The Grape Question by William Saunders; F. J. Cope; J. M. McMinn. This early American horticultural work is a composite of three essays on grape culture, propagation, and classification, originally presented in the Farmer and Gardener and published in 1860. The volume surveys native and exotic grape varieties, outlines practical methods for propagating vines (eyes and cuttings, layering, grafting, and seeds), and discusses soil preparation, drainage, and climate adaptations. It provides detailed guidance on native grape propagation, transplanting, trellis training, summer and winter pruning, and disease management, with emphasis on maintaining moisture, air, and a controlled environment. The text also includes plans for building grapery structures (cold grapery and forcing), border management, and storage of grape crops, as well as descriptive lists of popular North American and exotic varieties, and notes on regional suitability. It serves as a historical snapshot of mid-19th-century American viticulture and practical viticultural science.
