Excerpt from Illustrated Descriptive Catalogue of American Grape Vines: A Grape Growers´ Manual The Bushberg Catalogue has become a vade mecum of American Grape-growers; it has also been translated into French and Italian, an honor probably never before bestowed on any Nurserymen´s Fruit Catalogue. Its reprint has long been demanded, but we could not consent thereto until we had leisure to thoroughly revise it. The great favor with which it was received, made us the more feel our duty to perfect it as far as was in our power. The experience and researches of these eight years, since the issue of the second edition, enable us to rectify some of its defects, to speak more definitely of the merits and demerits of many varieties, then new and untried, and to add a very large number of New Grapes which have since been produced or introduced. The American Grape has also become of greater and more comprehensive importance by virtue of its now well established Phylloxera-resisting qualities, and, though grown in Europe chiefly as a grafting stock for their favorite kinds, every variety has been tested there; - some few, as the Lenoir (Jacques), Herbemont, etc., are largely planted for direct production, - thus enabling us to add to our own opinion that of the best foreign connoisseurs. Nor have we neglected to consult the views of other grape-growers, and to avail ourselves of the many valuable essays on the grape, written by eminent Horticultural authors, and scattered in books, newspapers and reports. Dr. George Engelmann, the celebrated Botanist has enhanced the value of our Catalogue by revising for it his Classification of the True Grape-vines of the United States. He has, in fact, entirely re-written it, and many illustrations, expressly made for this valuable treatise, have been added thereto. He has also favored us with a short essay on The Diseases of the Grape - Mildew and Rot, which were but briefly and deficiently treated in the previous edition, and which now occupy several pages, entirely devoted to this sad but most important subject. We are well aware that this chapter is still very defective, nor can the subject be satisfactorily treated until scientific researches and experiments may have found some practical means of curing or protecting our vineyards from these pests, not less destructive to our vineyards than the Phylloxera to those of Europe. In this revised edition will also be found a far more exhaustive article on Grafting than was presented in the former, wherein we promised to publish the results of our experiments which were then but just commenced. Our experience in this now so important operation, and the excellent work of Aimé Champin, on the same subject, enable us to furnish a chapter which to many may be both valuable and interesting. Assisted by Prof. C. V. Riley, Chief U. S. Entomological Commission, we have been enabled to amplify the chapter on Insects by a brief account of the beneficial species, useful to the grape-grower. At the repeated request of a large number of grape-growers, we have added a few hints on the subject of Wine-making, which may not be quite useless to beginners, though we have not changed our opinion (expressed informer edition) as to the impossibility of furnishing a valuable guide in a few pages, or as to the necessity of practical knowledge and experience, in order to succeed. But far more than the Grape Manual has the Descriptive part of this Catalogue been augmented. Many new varieties and good illustrations of the same have been added, and every line of the Descriptive portion of the former publication has been carefully revised. The favorable and highly complimentary opinions voluntarily expressed by our most prominent Horticulturists, with regard to the previous edition (1875), permit us to hope that this ne A Grape Growers´ Manual (Classic Reprint) Buch (fremdspr.)
