Download or read book American Vines Resistant Stock written by P. Viala and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Vines (Resistant Stock): Their Adaptation, Culture, Grafting and Propagation The translation of the book which Messrs. Raymond Dubois and Edmund H. Twight are now presenting to California viticulturists is a summary of the efforts accomplished by the viticulturists of France in the struggle against phylloxera, and of the new knowledge they have definitely gained for the reconstitution of vineyards. This knowledge has been revised to date for the present translation, and all new facts which actually permit to direct the reconstitution of vineyards are brought together in this California translation. The viticulturists of California are practically working under the same conditions as the viticulturists of the South of France, therefore the facts acquired in that region should be applied in their vineyards. These facts are simple, and consist, above all, in having recourse to the American vines most resistant to phylloxera, that is to say, in using pure species (V. Riparia, V. Rupestris, V. Berlandieri), or hybrids of these species (V. Riparia X V. Rupestris, V. Rupestris X V. Berlandieri, and V. Riparia X V. Berlandieri). The essential condition is to select different graft-bearers, according to the diverse classes of soils, and we trust that this book will assist California viticulturists in that direction. The course to be followed in the struggle against phylloxera is nowadays definitely established. The immense efforts accomplished by our French viticulturists have vanquished an unprecedented crisis; their work, crowned with success, should benefit the viticulturists of the whole world. The most definite and general conclusion derived from this struggle is the superiority of reconstitution with American vines resisting the attacks of the insects.

Download or read book Dying on the Vine written by George D. Gale and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dying on the Vine chronicles 150 years of scientific warfare against the grapevine’s worst enemy: phylloxera. In a book that is highly relevant for the wine industry today, George Gale describes the biological and economic disaster that unfolded when a tiny, root-sucking insect invaded the south of France in the 1860s, spread throughout Europe, and journeyed across oceans to Africa, South America, Australia, and California—laying waste to vineyards wherever it landed. He tells how scientists, viticulturalists, researchers, and others came together to save the world’s vineyards and, with years of observation and research, developed a strategy of resistance. Among other topics, the book discusses phylloxera as an important case study of how one invasive species can colonize new habitats and examines California’s past and present problems with it.

Download or read book Pacific Wine and Spirit Review Vol 43 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pacific Wine and Spirit Review, Vol. 43: Journal of Viniculture; November 30, 1900 The fact of it is that California wines to - day, age for age, and class for class, are superior to the wines of France, and why not? The grape vine cuttings from which our fine wines are now produced in California, were procured in France many years ago before the phylloxera devastated the vineyards of that country. They were set out on the sunny hillsides of California where the soil is richer and the climate superior to' that of France. These cuttings consequently produce better grapes than those which are now grown in the vineyards of France effected by phylloxera and grafted on American vines, but the wine produced from these grapes is identical in flavor and bouquet to those produced in the districts of Burgundy, Sauterne, etc., and are known to the trade only as Burgundy, Sauterne, etc. By what other names therefore could they be called than Burgundy or Sauterne wines, with the addition in plain letters that these wines were produced in California? As well might objections be made in naming our California Prunes French Prunes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Vineyards in Napa County written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vineyards in Napa County: Being the Report of E. C. Priber, Commissioner for the Napa District, to the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners of California The present report on the condition of the vineyards of Napa County was undertaken by the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners with a view of ascertaining what decrease in the acreage planted in vines in that county has been caused by the phylloxera in the past two years, as well as to give as much information as possible regarding the success of the various resistant stocks in different soils, etc., and other matters pertaining to viticulture in the county of interest to grape growers, wine makers, and wine merchants. In 1890, when the last census was made, Napa County reported acres planted in vines. The present report shows acres. It will thus be seen that the decrease has been very considerable. The phylloxera is reported to have reached a point about three miles above St. Helena, and it can be but a question of a short time until the Calistoga vineyards suffer as have those of the lower valley. At present there are 507 vineyards reported In Napa County, and of these 244, or nearly half, report the existence of phylloxera. This will give an idea of what can be expected to occur to the vineyards of the entire valley within a few years. Wherever resistants have not been planted, the death of the vines appears only a question of a short time. In the tables which follow, the acreage reported as infested by phylloxera is certainly misleading, as is also the reported acreage good for one more crop, the acreage that will be dug up for causes other than phylloxera, and probably the Oooperage. It is difficult to secure correct information on such points; vineyardists are loth to give such informa tion, as well as to give information as to stocks of wine on hand. The reports of wine stocks were given in confidence. The different cellars reported an aggregate of slightly over gallons of wine in the valley. The stocks of two cellars in Napa had to be estimated, as well as the cooperage in the same, the owners refusing to supply such information. It is naturally to be. Expected that in making such a canvass errors will occur. If any are noted, the vineyardists affected will please notify me. There is no disposition to do any one injustice, nor to misrepresent any one. Any corrections sent in will be printed, and distributed, for insertion in this book.

Download or read book Potato Production in California Classic Reprint written by J. T. Rosa and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-09 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Potato Production in California Competition with other states for outside markets, as well as for the home markets, has been the outstanding feature of potato mar keting in recent years. This factor will have to be kept constantly in mind in future developments. The tendency is toward earlier crops and earlier shipping of the California crop, thus avoiding to some extent direct competition with the main crop in the Northwest. To show the relation of California shipping seasons to those of com peting states, figures 1 and 2 have been constructed from data sup plied by the Market News Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. These furnish us with a guide to the usual seasons of shipment and the volume of shipments from the principal potato districts on the Pacific coast - a region more or less independent of the rest of the country so far as production and consumption of potatoes are concerned. Early in the season, during April and May, there is a considerable movement of new potatoes from the San Francisco district to California markets and to markets of the Northwest. This is followed early in J une by a much heavier shipment of early potatoes from the lower San J oaquin Valley (shafter district), which goes to local, Northwestern, ' and Southwestern markets. Shipments from this district cause the first peak in the movement of potatoes from northern California. Then in July come the peak shipments from the Los Angeles district, principally from the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys. In August active movement begins from the Stockton district in northern California, and continues heavy through out the fall months, gradually declining to a moderate, steady volume during the winter. A number of other, smaller districts in the northern part of the state harvest and ship their crop from October through the winter.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sweet Potato Production in California The potatoes used for propagating are called seed or seed stock. The smaller potatoes ranging from one to two inches in diameter are most suitable for this purpose. Larger potatoes may be used, but they are more expensive and do not produce so many plants from a given quantity of seed stock. Where it is necessary to use large potatoes, the yield of plants can be increased by splitting the potatoes lengthwise, and bedding with the flat side down. The selection of sweet potato seed is discussed in detail at the end of this circular. Growers in the Turlock district allow about 400 pounds of seed for each acre to be planted. From to plants to the acre are required, depending on the distance of planting. If there is no disease, the seed disinfected, the hotbed properly prepared and carefully handled, 200 pounds of seed should produce enough plants for one acre.

Download or read book Bottled Poetry written by James T. Lapsley and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's Napa Valley is one of the world's premier wine regions today, but this has not always been true. James T. Lapsley's entertaining history explains how a collective vision of excellence among winemakers and a keen sense of promotion transformed the region and its wines following the repeal of Prohibition. Focusing on the formative years of Napa's fine winemaking, 1934 to 1967, Lapsley concludes with a chapter on the wine boom of the 1970s, placing it in a social context and explaining the role of Napa vineyards in the beverage's growing popularity. Names familiar to wine drinkers appear throughout these pages—Beaulieu, Beringer, Charles Krug, Christian Brothers, Inglenook, Louis Martini—and the colorful stories behind the names give this book a personal dimension. As strong-willed, competitive winemakers found ways to work cooperatively, both in sharing knowledge and technology and in promoting their region, the result was an unprecedented improvement in wine quality that brought with it a new reputation for the Napa Valley. In The Silverado Squatters, Robert Louis Stevenson refers to wine as "bottled poetry," and although Stevenson's reference was to the elite vineyards of France, his words are appropriate for Napa wines today. Their success, as Lapsley makes clear, is due to much more than the beneficence of sun and soil. Craft, vision, and determination have played a part too, and for that, wine drinkers the world over are grateful.
