Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Make Grape Culture Profitable in California: With Explanation of California Vine or Anaheim Disease
This disease has been under my special observation for the last five years. It may have been in this vicinity longer than that, but if it was, I did not notice it. The varieties mostly affected are the Muscat of Alexandria, Black Ferrara and Cornichon, and these only in such places where the soil is rich the vines grew vigorously and bore heavy crops. Where, for certain reasons, they did not grow vigorous foliage or bear abundantly, whether the soil was poor or rich, they have remained healthy so far. This seemingly would prove the contention of some, that the heavy bearing of a vine is the cause of the trouble. But Viniferas produce heavily also in countries where the disease is unknown, besides vines have died with it that did not bear at all.
