PRoDucT1oN OF NATIVE WINE FROM Grapes
Several years ago. DR.. George K. Gilmer started
grapery in Henrico. county, near Tree Hill, and
this season made his first essay in wine making
in the cellar of one of the teaements of Stearns'
block, Main ST.. The machinery for production
was the most approved that could be obtained
The result is that from $780, 900 pounds of grape,
some of which were purchased, 375 barrels, and
sig casks of wine. have been produced, the whole
aggregating about 1900 gallons, besides 800
gallons of vinegar. The six casksseaeh held 800
gallons of wine. The wine, on which there isno
tax will command from 81 to $l,5o per gallon.
Thisis.a new branch Of industry in these parts,
and. it would seem productive one. We conn
