This antiquarian volume contains a comprehensive treatise on grapes as used for the commercial production of grape and sweet sorghum syrup, with information on cultivation, benefits, drawbacks, marketing, and much more besides. Although old, much of the information contained within this book is timeless, and will be of considerable value to modern grape farmers - and those with an interest in the development of the grape trade. Full of interesting and practicable information, this text constitutes a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Many antique books such as this are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. It is with this in mind, that we are proud to republish this classic work in an affordable, high quality, modern edition.
