Excerpt from First Steps in Ampelography: A Guide to Facilitate the Recognition of Vines
A long association with vines enables any one to acquire, in a given district, a visual recollection Of the most common varieties, or c�pages. This visual recollection is prefer able to the best description. It is due to the physiognomy of a variety becoming engraved on the memory, and serving as a means Of comparison. This physiognomy Of a vine is the general result of the impression caused by the union Of its separate characters. But, more Often than not, these particular or separate characters, not having been examined individually with sufficient attention, escape from the memory. From their assembled characteristics a special appearance proper to each c�page results, which in most cases is sufficient to serve as a guide.
