Its importance is almost incalculable, and it should re- ceive every reasonable encouragement. It is not our intention in this manual, ' OUR NATIVE GRAPE," to make known new theories, but to improve on those already in practice. Since the publication ot former works on this subject a great many changes have taken place ; new destructive diseases have ap- peared, insects, so detrimental to Grapevines, have increased, making greater vigilance and study neces- sary. / New varieties of Grapes have sprung up with great rapidity Many labor-saving tools have been introduced, in fact. Grape culture of the present time is a vast improvement on the Grape culture of years ago. The material herein contained has been gathered by the assistance of friends all over the country in all parts of the United States, and compiled and arranged that not alone our own ex- perience, but that of the best experts in the country, may serve as a guide to the advancement of Grape culture. We have spared neither time or expense to make this work as complete as possible. With all our efforts, however, we feel compelled to ask forbearance for our shortcom- ings and mild judgment for our imperfections.

  • History of Grape Growing in the Eastern United States
    History of Grape Growing in the Eastern United States By Fred Elmer Gladwin 1931 Reproduced in 2007 from the original work which was published in eleven parts in Rural New Yorker in 193 1. Fred Elmer Gladwin (1 877-1940) was a well regarded expert in viticulture. In 1909 he was appointed a special agent of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station (NYSAES) and put in charge of the Vineyard Laboratory at Fredonia, NY which came into existence that same year. Later he was made associate in research at the NYSAES, and in 1936 was made chief in research in Pomology, a position he held at the time of his death. His entire period of service with the Experiment Station was spent at the Vineyard Laboratory. This series of columns he authored in 1931 on the history of grape growing in the Eastern United States has been brought together here in an effort to give more prominence to a small part of his work. The citations for the work as it originally appeared are listed here: Gladwin, F.E., "A History of Grape Growing in Eastern United States: Part I," Rural New Yorker, vol.XC, no.5 156,18 April 1931, page 485-486.

  • A Review of Cold Climate Grape Cultivars
    A Review of Cold Climate Grape Cultivars Introduction There has been interest in growing grapes in the upper Midwest and other cold climate regions of North America. One of the problems growers face in these regions is selecting cultivars (cultivated varieties) that will withstand severe winters, mature in short growing seasons, and be productive. As grape acreage increases in cold climate regions, too often cultivar selections are being made based upon testimonial or anecdotal information. With the high costs of vineyard establishment there is an increasing need for a standard reference to assist growers in selecting best adapted cultivars. According to Dr. Gail Nonnecke at Iowa State University; “When selecting grape cultivars to grow, one must consider the characteristics of the fruit as well as the vine. The vines have to be adapted to local growing conditions and the fruit must meet our needs.” This project was undertaken to develop a reference that will be useful for selecting grape cultivars to plant in cold climates. Such a reference should document and standardize origin, viticulture characteristics, disease and pest resistance, cold hardiness, and wine quality characteristics. Specific objectives of the project were to assemble information on: The origin of the cultivars including: synonyms; pedigree; county or state of origin, breeder and institution; date of cross and release or introduction into the U.S.; and type. Viticultural and fruit characteristics including: growth habit and vigor; time of bud break and productivity on secondary buds; days from bloom to harvest; specific cultural concerns; and cluster and berry characteristics. Pest concerns including: a standardized ranking of susceptibility to disease; specific pest concerns, sensitivity to sulfur, copper and other pesticides; and sensitivity to grow regulator herbicide drift (2,4-D and dicamba).

PREFACE TO THE NEW AND ENLARGED EDITION. The progress of horticulture is so marked and rapid, that those who do not keep even pace with it, are soon left behind. This is especially true with grape culture, which has perhaps pi-ogressed more rapidly than any other branch. When I look over the first edition, issued only a few years ago, I find that it has already fallen behind, although its aim was to present the most recent experience. New varieties of grapes have since made their appearance, while old ones have been dropped from the lists, the taste of the public having become more refined and critical. New areas have been opened to grape culture, which is spreading into every State and Territory, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the all-important question, one that " is asked every day, in every locality, is : What grapes shall plant ?'' This is as it should we be ; progress is the watchword of the age, and no one can be more willing to acknowledge its claims than I, who have wished for it and believed that it would come, when others thought that these hopes were but the dreams of an enthusiast.

It is probable that wine was made from it even before the species was brought into cultivation. It seems to have been cultivated at the dawn of history. Its product was certainly no rarity in Noah's time. Of all countries, North America is richest in species of Vitis. These species range from ocean to ocean and from the British posses- sions to the tropics. The greatest development of the native-grape industry has taken place in New York and Ohio, bordering lakes and streams. These areas are the lower Hudson river the large valley ; of the central western New York lakes the Lake Erie region ; region of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. There are also important grape interests in Ontario, Michigan, and other northern parts. There is considerable interest in grape culture in the cooler parts of Georgia and Alabama, and there are enlarging areas in the country extending from the Ozark region southward.
