A practical treatise on the cultivation of the grape vine on open walls. With a descriptive account of an improved method of planting and managing the roots of grape vines. To which is added an appendix, containing remarks on the culture of the grape vine in the United States

Author cannot permit a new edition of his Treatise onthe Vine to appear, without expressing the great pleasure that he derives, in witnessing the rapid progress that the principles of Vine culture, promulgated in its pages, have made since they were fiist brought under the notice of the public.Several large editions have been sold, and the demand is daily increasing.The Author, therefore, flatters himself that he may now, without being guilty of presumption, consider his Treatise as the standard work of reference, in that branch of horticulture of which it treats ; more particularly so, since the major part of the writers in horti- cultural periodicals and other works, which, from time to time, profess to give directions for the management of Vines, are in the constant practice of quoting from his Treatise, (but in gene- ral without acknowledgment,) the directions therein contained, and the principles on which they are founded.
