~ 4r,t settlers IN Washington county
,,o,lred a few vines and cuttings OF
NJ vlrevaretles OF grapes that were
Nm most popular In California. The
me- we're brought overland from Calf
hra via the old emigrant trail. From
NJ first roots that were planted at ST
Georye the cuttings were sold to the
vrers at % cents each, price that
,,n, extortIonate now, when cuttings
dsnpe vines may be had for the ask
\, very rapid growth and early fruit
