Manual of American grape-growing
Manual of American Grape-Growing, published in 1919 in the Rural Manuals series edited by L. H. Bailey, is a practical guide by U. P. Hedrick, horticulturist of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station. Hedrick explains the differences between European and native American grapes and describes the grape regions of the continent, then covers propagation from seeds, cuttings, layers and grafts, the use of resistant stocks against phylloxera, laying out and planting a vineyard, tillage, fertilizing, pruning, training and trellises. Later chapters deal with diseases and insect pests, harvesting and marketing, and the book ends with descriptions of a long list of grape varieties, from Agawam to Wyoming. It remains a clear record of American viticulture of its time. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
