The history of the grape Is almost as
old MS that Of man. Growing In Its
highest perfection in Syria and Persia,
its luscious fruit recommended ii TO the
especial care OF the patriarchal ullers
of the soil. and vineyards were exten-
sively planted long before orchards or
collections Of other fruit trees were at
all common.
The grape came originally from Per
sla. From the latter country as civili-
Zation advanced westward this fruit
accompanied it-frst to Egypt. then to
Greece. Sicily. Italy. Spain. France ana
then 10 Great Britaln 10 which latter
country tie Romans carried 1t 2OO
years after hrist.
To America the seeds and plants or
the European varieties were brought
by emgrautS and colonists the first
fifty years after its settlement.
There are vast number of varieties
Of grapes. but there are really only
about n dozen varieties good for the
