Grape Culture.
Cincinnati. September 7lh, 1857.?As
a cultivator of the grape, I thank you for
the great interest you have always taken in
this new branch of American agiiculture;
and particularly for the opportunity you
now givo nie for refuting a most erroneous
statement, which lately appeared under the
editorial head in theVivvny (Ind.) News, to
the effect that "the Cincinnati Horticultural
Society had it under consideration to de
dure grape culture in the United Slates a
failure," that "the business would prove ru
inous to those who attempted it," and that
4,lhe only way Mr. Longworth made it re
inunurative was by the adulteration of bis
wines," die. I am happy to say to you that
there is no truth in either of these stale
mcnts. Put of litem the editor has since
retracted, and part has boen controverted
by one of his neighbors, a grape grower in
that vicinity, who says that fifteen new vineyi.rds
have been laid out near that town,
and that the cnllute of the vine has teceived
a new impetus. The first attempts were
made on the rich bottom lands of the river,
and necessarily failed. The bills are now
selected in preference, and with promise of
complete success.
That this crop is subject to the casualties
of other fruit crops cannot be denied,
but experience has pioved that it is about
as reliable as the apple, which is our liar
diest fiuit. The average yield for a seiics f
of years*, in fair localities, and with c<>ni <
moil attention, is at leant 200 gallons to the 1
acre. In good posiiions, and with extra ; 1
culture, 300 gallon*. One bundled gallon*. 1
per acre will tnote than pay the co-t of cnl v
livalion, and leave something f??r profit. 0
For the last two ye.ais the crop has hcon "
short in this vicinity, but in Missouri and 0
Georgia it is very good this year. So it is
with most crops, varying with the reasons. ! v
in different sections of the country.
To my certain kno ? ledge, the grape is d
cultivated fi>r making wino, in 18 States of a
the Union, and is rapidly on the increase, ?
especially in the West and South west. The c
sale of giapo vine cutting* in Cincinnati
alone was over a million and a half, and of
roots 300,000, last year; and about the same
the year pievious. This does not look like *
failure. The charge that Mr. Longworth
a Illiterates his wino is too preposterous to K
he believed hero or eUewhete. It is not Ins I'
interest to do so, and coilainly not his in- 1
clination. No man has been more particu
lar to keep his wine peifectly pure than
Mr. L. It was his ptide and his hobby to "
introduce |?tire native wines to the Ainoiican
people; more for the reputation of it
than the profit?for lie was rich enough
without it.
This cultivation has been opposed from ?
the first by the leaders of the ultra tein- ''
per.nice men, whom nothing will satisfy '
hut some political hobby that will carry ^
them into oilice, like the "Maine Law."
Hut the good sense of the reasonably tern "
perate induces them to believe that it is the J1
best aid their cau?e can enlist.
The Cincinnati Commercial, of the same
Jate, says: "It is a fact, of which the evi- 11
deuce is of the most convincing character, it;
that the grape, for the purpose ot wine
making, i? now successfully cultivated in
eighteen of tlio Slates of the Union, Mini 'p
experience is annually demonstiating that ,,
llio area of tcnitory soiled to the profitable |,
cult tiro of the grape in the United State*
is laigi-i than had been heruiofote believed. |j
In litis vicinity, we have the positive a?sti t|
ranee of gentlemen of character and expeii \t
pneo that it is, to say the least, as remunera t|
tivo as any other branch of agriciilttiie." e;
