In certain counties it is causing enormous losses, and rendering almost worthless large acreages of valuable land. More over, it is spreading, the agencies responsible for its dissemination being many and difficult to control. But, the important point is that it can be prevented from spreading itself generally over the state if proper measures are followed. This bulletin 'is a genuine contribution to the knowledge of the life history and habits of puncture vine and of practical methods for its control. It will be welcomed by those growers who now have infesta tions of the weed, and also by those who wish the information which will enable them to recognize the plant and to stamp out incipient infestations effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resistant Vine Question for California: And the California Vine or Anaheim Disease The most important characteristic and the most consequential in its effect in different ways, which all species of the grape vine have in common, is their extreme and peculiar sensitiveness to temperature conditions of the soil and the atmosphere and generally much more the sensitiveness to such conditions of the former than of the latter. The scope of this sensitiveness of either the root or top varies very much with the different species, varieties and hybrids; in fact there are no two of these which are exactly alike in this respect, but it is always within well-defined boundaries. In comparing this sensitiveness of the root with that of its top of different vines, we find a multiplicity of combinations, which are most remarkable and if it were possible, that they could be well understood in every case, would remove obstacles, which at the present time, appear almost unsurmountable. My attention was first called to this some years ago when I compared the behavior of certain varieties, planted on soils, presenting different temperature conditions during spring and with a surrounding atmosphere, which also showed a difference in this respect. In one locality which; I, shall call A, the soil is gravelly and somewhat loose, and in the other locality, which I shall call B, the soil is a clay-loam, capable of holding a great amount of water in suspension during spring. But while at B, the temperature of the overlying atmosphere is uniform and generally warm during spring, A is known as having cold and frosty nights at that time, although during the middle of the day the temperature of the two respective atmospheres is about the same. A has a soil which warms up readily during spring, but an atmosphere which is exceedingly cold at times. B has an atmosphere which is uniformly mild. Of the leading table grape varieties the Tokay starts growth first at A and last at B. The Cornichon starts growth first at B and last at A. The Lenoir starts growth exceedingly early during spring at A and makes almost all its seasonal growth within about a month after starting. At B it starts growth later, but still slightly ahead of the Cornichon and then grows steadily all summer. This should prove conclusively that the scope of sensitiveness of root or top of the Lenoir, Tokay and Cornichon is not the same.

We therefore advise not to plant until the ground has become dry and warm..

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Judge Lynch: A Tale of the California Vineyards There was a puzzled, grieved expression on the sheriff's face as he stepped forward and laid his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Jack Scott, you are my prisoner." Jack started and shivered a little. Arrest on a charge of murder is fortunately a rare experience, and of a kind to shock the strongest nerves. But arrest at this time and place meant something worse than suspicion, confinement, and the long suspense of a trial. The young man knew this, and his mind grasped in a moment the whole significance of the situation, with the lightning speed of thought in moments of peril. For this isolated little community of San Pablo, forty miles from railroad or telegraph, cut off by the precipitous coast range from the rest of California - even from the rest of its own county - was a law unto itself. The village nestled in a narrow plain; on one side the broad Pacific, on the other the mountains clothed on their western slope with the clustered vines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining the best of memoir, travel literature, and food writing, Christopher Bakken delves into one of the most underappreciated cuisines in Europe in this rollicking celebration of the Greek table. He explores the traditions and history behind eight elements of Greek cuisine—olives, bread, fish, cheese, beans, wine, meat, and honey—and journeys through the country searching for the best examples of each. He picks olives on Thasos, bakes bread on Crete, eats thyme honey from Kythira with one of Greece’s greatest poets, and learns why Naxos is the best place for cheese in the Cyclades. Working with local cooks and artisans, he offers an intimate look at traditional village life, while honoring the conversations, friendships, and leisurely ceremonies of dining around which Hellenic culture has revolved for thousands of years. A hymn to slow food and to seasonal and sustainable cuisine, Honey, Olives, Octopus is a lyrical celebration of Greece, where such concepts have always been a simple part of living and eating well.
