Chile bringing back Pais grape and other heirloom vines because more disease resistant. Hybrids and Heirloom Grapes Worldwide – Cont. Spain two old grapes now being brought back from edge of extinction. Money and Gonfaus. This is part of a project to revive 40 old varieties to help fight changing climate conditions. France starting to work with 39 old varieties in a grape conservatory. • They ripen later. • Are more drought and disease resistant. • Produce higher natural alcohol content wines. Most of the old varieties we are growing are not French hybrids “A History of Wine In America” – Thomas Pinney Controlled hybridizing of native American varieties with European varieties went on back at least to the early nineteenth century in America. When the French imported millions and millions of American vines for rootstock during the phylloxera outbreak they refered to grapes like: LeNoir, Norton, Herbemont and others simply as American grapes or American hybrids. After the phylloxera blight was under control in early 1900s, the French started to experiment with more complex crossings using Some of the American genetics to produce new grapes like Chambourcin, Seyval, Chelois and others. When these vines were brought to the U.S.A they were called French hybrids to distinguish them from the old American hybrids.

  • Grape Development and Improvement
    GRAPE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT ELMER SNYDER, Pomologisi, Divi- sion of Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry ^ X HE present commercial grape industry in the United States has de- veloped along two main lines. On the Pacific coast the industry has depended upon the importation and improvement of varieties of the grape of the Old World, Vitis vinifera L., while in the remainder of the country the industr^^ has been based upon the development of the American species indigenous to the region, hybrids of these species, and finally hybrids of native species with V, vinifera. On the other hand, tlie industry in the Old World originated actively from the single species V, vinifera. This, species has also played a vital part in the improvement of our native grapes. It w^as known in prehistoric times. Sacred writings and ancient myths and fables extol the vahie of this grape. Seeds of the grape have been found in the remains of lake dwellings of the Bronze Age in Switzerland and Italy and in the tombs of ancient Egypt. Remains of grape leaves have also been found in calcareous rocks in Prance, where they were apparently de- posited in prehistoric times. It is the belief of botanists that the ancient home of this species was the Caspian Sea region. DISTRIBUTION AND EARLY HISTORY FROM its original habitat the grape was carried westward into favorable locations in Africa and Europe and eastward in Asia. The distribution of the species by birds, wind, and water undoubtedly began very early, even before cultivation, and possibly before the existence of man in Asia or Europe.

  • Dr. Bill: What's Worked for Me This Spring
    Dr. Bill: What’s Worked for Me this Spring Welcome to the spring guide to gardening in Texas! In this quarterly series, I will discuss success that I have experienced each season in my garden and want to share with you. Cool Season Foliage Color Swiss chard is a colorful cool season plant that makes a beautiful display in the garden. It is one of the healthiest leafy vegetables and usually has a two year lifespan in Texas gardens. Prominent midribs are borne on stout petioles. Leaves and stalks are nutritious and delicious cooked or raw. Plant seeds or young transplants in early fall. Combine them with pansies, stock, snapdragons and sweet alyssum as well as other cool season annuals. Although cold tolerant in most winters, chard is fairly heat tolerant as well. Fruit in the Landscape Earlier in our southern gardening history fruit was a critical part of every garden. With the presence of fresh fruit becoming more important and the realization that we can easily grow so many species, homeowners are electing to again realize the beauty and practicality of having fruit in the home garden. Selecting species that require little or no chemical pesticides adds to the appeal. Citrus Citrus has been popular as a landscape and commercial crop for the warmer parts of Texas for many generations. Susceptibility to cold varies among citrus with satsumas and kumquats being able to tolerate temperatures into the low twenties and high teens for short durations. In addition to cold damage, citrus are susceptible to insect and disease damage. Most of the insect damage can be controlled with oil sprays applied in June, July, August and September.

  • Llano Estacado Winery and the Rise of the Modern
    FORKED TENDRILS: LLANO ESTACADO WINERY AND THE RISE OF THE MODERN TEXAS WINE INDUSTRY by ERIC D. SANCHEZ, B.A. A THESIS IN HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved May, 1996 TXJ,^ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would Kke to extend my thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Ronald Rainger, whose guidance and instruction in my academic career helped me greatly. In addition, I would also like to thank Dr. Paul Carlson, whose humor and patience were well appreciated. I would also like personally to thank Kim McPherson, who answered the numerous questions of a young man, largely ignorant about the wine and grape industry. As I learned more about the industry, Greg Bruni offered his generous support. He patiently filled gaps and answered questions I still had, thereby greatly contributing to my education with perseverance and skill. The personnel at Llano Estacado Winery, including Don Graf and Walter Haimann, who both enlightened me about the legal and business ramifications of the wine industry, were extremely helpful. Appreciation is due to the numerous officials at the Texas Alcoholic and Beverage Commission, the Texas Wine Marketing Research Institute, past and present state legislators, Texas winemakers and to Tim Pierce at South Plains Association of Governments. If it were not for the patience and consideration of Dr. Clinton "Doc" McPherson, Robert Reed, and Dr. Roy Mitchell, this thesis would not be possible. Their humorous stories and reflections on their endeavor sparked my interest into producing this work.
