Excerpt from The Handbook of Horticulture and Viticulture of Western Australia As it is a physical impossibility for the Viticultural and Horticultural Expert of the Bureau to be in all places at all times, and as the demands for Mr. Despeissis' advice have been so great, the Bureau of Agriculture considered it advisable to have Mr. Despeissis' views on cultural matters embodied in book form. Before commencing the Handbook of Horticulture and Viticulture of Western Australia, which is now presented to the reader, Mr. Despeissis visited all the districts in the South-Western Land Division of the Colony, so "he knows whereof he speaks." Neither the Bureau of Agriculture nor Mr. Despeissis have spared pains or expense to make the Handbook as complete as the somewhat limited time at the authors' disposal would permit. It was hoped that the Handbook would have been issued before the present planting season, but the work insensibly outgrew its originally prescribed limits. The Handbook has been written as much for the new-comer as those already settled upon the soil, and for this reason chapters on the preliminary preparation of the land have been included. Errors, almost inseparable from the somewhat hurried preparation of a book requiring a vast amount of thought and research, may be discovered in these pages, but it is to be hoped they will be immeasurably counterbalanced by the mass of valuable information the Handbook contains. In conclusion, the Bureau of Agriculture would take this opportunity of acknowledging the kind assistance received from the Hon. the Minister of Agriculture of New South Wales, the proprietors of the "Australian Agriculturist," Messrs. Sandover & Co., and others, in lending many of the blocks which illustrate this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ...The mixture is prepared on a floor, or a tarpaulin, by first sifting through a wire screen with in. meshes, and mixing thoroughly with shovels. One-half of this amount applied broadcast is used when giving the last working to land before planting, and the other half sown between the rows during the first season. Just before planting a light dressing of Acwt. of sulphate of ammonia or of nitrate of soda is given along the rows, and also early the second spring, just as the plants are moving from their dormant state, another similar application will stimulate a vigorous growth and an abundant setting. Should an abundance of unleashed wood ashes be procurable it would form an ideal fertiliser, as it contains both potash and phosphate. A dressing of 6.0 to 80 bushels to the acre broadcasted would be a liberal one. Transplanting.--After thorough cultivation and manuring, the land should be made smooth by rolling, which also consolidates it. The time for transplanting having arrived, the plants should be got together. In our climate April will be found a good time; a small crop may then be expected in the spring. Strawberry plauts will strike at any time, provided the ground is moist and warm, but autumn planting is found more profitable. If not planted till the spring, all the fruit buds should be removed as they appear, otherwise the plants become feeble and die. Should a large plot be planted, it is advisable to commence with the early sorts and proceed with the latter varieties. The lines for horse cultivation should be at intervals of 3ft. or 4ft.; for hand cultivation 2ft. will be found enough. Iu either case the distance along the rows should be from 12in. to 18in.; this the grower will regulate as he becomes familiar with the habits of...

Very few books have products as diverse as those of the grape vine: even fewer have products with such a cultural significance. Wine and the Vine provides an introduction to the historical geography of viticulture and the wine trade from prehistory to the present. It considers wine as both a unique expression of the interaction of people in a particular environment, rich in symbol and meaning, and a commercial product of great economic importance to particular regions.

There are many books that explore actual, physical, sacred space and pilgrimage sites. This is a different kind of book. It introduces seven traditional 'sacred spaces' but then leads readers into a deeper reflection on what such 'sacred space' means in our own lives and experience. The various sacred spaces explored are: the Celtic Cross; the infinite knot; hilltops; wells and springs; causeways and bridges; thresholds and burial grounds; and boundaries. In each chapter, the author introduces a 'sacred space' as the main theme and then illustrates this by associating it with a particular stage of life and a particular sacramental experience. The ideas are then brought together by means of a scripture story.

Note for the electronic edition: This draft has been assembled from information prepared by authors from around the world. It has been submitted for editing and production by the USDA Agricultural Research Service Information Staff and should be cited as an electronic draft of a forthcoming publication. Because the 1986 edition is out of print, because we have added much new and updated information, and because the time to publication for so massive a project is still many months away, we are making this draft widely available for comment from industry stakeholders, as well as university research, teaching and extension staff.

The Vikings called North America "Vinland," the land of wine. Giovanni de Verrazzano, the Italian explorer who first described the grapes of the New World, was sure that "they would yield excellent wines." And when the English settlers found grapes growing so thickly that they covered the ground down to the very seashore, they concluded that "in all the world the like abundance is not to be found." Thus, from the very beginning the promise of America was, in part, the alluring promise of wine. How that promise was repeatedly baffled, how its realization was gradually begun, and how at last it has been triumphantly fulfilled is the story told in this book. It is a story that touches on nearly every section of the United States and includes the whole range of American society from the founders to the latest immigrants. Germans in Pennsylvania, Swiss in Georgia, Minorcans in Florida, Italians in Arkansas, French in Kansas, Chinese in California—all contributed to the domestication of Bacchus in the New World. So too did innumerable individuals, institutions, and organizations. Prominent politicians, obscure farmers, eager amateurs, sober scientists: these and all the other kinds and conditions of American men and women figure in the story. The history of wine in America is, in many ways, the history of American origins and of American enterprise in microcosm. While much of that history has been lost to sight, especially after Prohibition, the recovery of the record has been the goal of many investigators over the years, and the results are here brought together for the first time. In print in its entirety for the first time, A History of Wine in America is the most comprehensive account of winemaking in the United States, from the Norse discovery of native grapes in 1001 A.D., through Prohibition, and up to the present expansion of winemaking in every state.
