obtain a palatabIe and stimuIat-
Ing beverage. The grape Is believed
TO be the oldest of our cultivated
fruits. and. although there are some
100 varieties Of grapes in Europe.
they are all practically from a single
species known as the Wits vinifera.
The earliest attempt to cultivate
grapes IN this country was in the
year l7o2, by Pierre Legaux. a French
man, VINO interested a number of Phil
adelphia gentlemen in his enterprise
Of cultivating European grapes. and a
company igas incorporated. A vine

but proved a failure. Later other at
tempts were made to cultivate the En-
ropean grape. notably along the Ohio
river. near Cincinnati But these too
failed. and it was left to Nicholas
Longworth. the father of the present

Indeed, the cultivation OF the grapa

variety, but native grape, to which

In 1919 Maj. John Album noticed a
vine growing in a garden in George
town, ID. G. The grape struck him as
having many excellent qualities. He
supposed ii to be a European variety.
but the grape was really a native OF
North Carolina, where il was discov-
cred in 1902, and it took its name from
the Catawba river. in that State.
In letter written shortly before his
death to the elder Longworth. he
says; 81 have done my country a
greater benefit in introducing this
grape than would have done II I nad

LOngworth's Efforts.
There is no doubt that the Catawba
grape played an important part IN the
grape and wine industry of the United
States. This was largely due to the
heroic efforts of Nicholas Longworth,
who is called the father Of American
grape culture" He spent forty years
or more of his life and 500. 900 In es-
tablishing vineyards in the Ohio val
ley. and his wine cellars at Cincinnati.
His persistent effort to make the
industry a success is a fine example of
American energy and enterprise. Long
worth obtained thousands OF vines
from Bordeaux and Burgundy, from
the Rhine district of Germany, from
Madeira in hopes of finding grapes
which would thrive in his Ohio vine
yards. He also tried native grapes,
but most Of these were given up for
the Catawba. which he first received
from Major Album. OF Wa ellington,
