Lake Keuka first became noted for the
cultivation Of grapes on its shores. The
6rst vineyard was planted about 1856 on
the west shore. In 1861 another was plant
ed on Bluff l'oint The business proved
very profitable, and the cultivation Of
grapes extended until nearly all avail
able land has been utilized At present
grape land is valued at 500 to $500 per
acre and bearing vineyards $500 to
81 900, the latter price being that of the
best Catawba vineyards The present
crop is very promising, and, in view of
the general failure Of other kinds Of
fruit, grape growers are expecting good
prices. Rome Sentinel
