report embraces much valuable in form alton
on the subject. Some Of the earliest at>

varieties. which failei Though partial
successes in the manufacture OF native
wines were obtsiued o. long ago NJ the year
1909, to Nicholas Longworth, Esq., recently
deceased, belonged the credit Of making

yard culture may now be regarded as fully
established - California taking the lead
