New Process for the Culture of the Vine (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from New Process for the Culture of the Vine

The experiments of Prof. Persoz having been conducted upon no very extended scale, afforded him no Opportunity of testing the vinous qual ity of the grape but since the very elements indicated by nature, are offered to the plant, and are assimilated by it, there should be no reasonable doubt that the excellence of the fruit for vinification will prove to correspond with the healthfulness of the vine. Rich ma nures, as is well known, have always been avoided by the wise cultivator, whose desire is to produce a full-flavored, saccharine grape and in certain localities of France, the municipal authority has interfered to prevent the use of such gross stimulants, which, while they produce abundant wood and large crops of fruit, impart something of their rankness to the juice.
