TROY H1rL-oArAwBA VINEYARD.


No one who loves a vineyard, and who can ap-
preciate the invigorating effect of an elevated
situation, commanding extensive views of into
resting Objects scattered over hills and valleys,
embracing the noble rivers extensive forests.
and a great city, with its thousand evidences of
the busy throng of bustling industry, should fail
to visit Troy Hill, in Reserve township, imme-
diately north of Allegheny City, where may be
found nearly one hundred acres Of vineyards.
These arc chiefly planted with Catawba vines,
set closely and trained to stakes, in the German
method. ttkek o.
The thrift of the Teutons, and their untiring
industry, is here everywhere displayed. The
vineyards are oftes situated upon the most bold
exposures and declivit0us descents, where the
culture must be performed wholly by human Ia
bor- Some of the soil appears to be nearly all
stones, and yet the vines are thrifty and produc-
tive. The road leading to the ascent is cut in
the face of an almost perpendicular cliff, and the
wall that supports it seems to spring directly
from the vineyards many feet below.
One of the pioneers, most enthusiastic vine
planter, is Mr.. Adam Reineman, a successful
merchant of Pittsburg who takes his pleasure
and pastime in his vineyard, and in ornament
ing the grounds about his comfortable dwelling
where fruits of various kinds abound and thrive
His vineyard, though closely planted, is trimmed
and trained with double bows, and is thus able

of one acre and quarter, was ,554 gallons of
wine, made upon a press, with only two inch
screw. Besides this, a second grade of wine
was made from the marc, which is mixed with
water and allowed to feEment, and then pressed,
producing light, rough wine of inferior quality.
A further evidence of what may be done in large
yield may be given. Seven vine stocks trained
long, on an arbor, produced this year twenty
eight gallons of wine--the quality had not an
opportunity OF inspecting,
In conclusion, allow me to reiserate the de-
light that was experienced in visiting these Ia
vored vinelands. The success of others should
give pleasure, even where the contrast with
our own less productive vineyards is sadly
against US. Let US not despond, however, but
try again, and hope for better results in future
years, with our renewed efforts to win success.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. WARDER.
