CULTURE OF THE GRAPE VINE.
York, (Penn.) 4th June, 1826.
Dear Sir : Yours of the 5th«.ult. came
safe to hand, and being somewhat unwell,
must apologise for not replying sooner. I
will now attempt it, and to your first ques
tion :
Sat/,—Mine is a slaty ridge, in a lime
stone country, and I presume there is lime
stone under it.
Planting.—I planted my vines in rqws,-
by digging a trench four feet long and a-
bout nine inches wide, and fifteen inches
deep- In this I planted, ait each ej?d, two*
cuttings, about three and a half or four feet
long, letij,^ jwo buds appear on each vine
above ground^\then I filled up the trench,
packing the grounh^nretty tight;- then, four
feet from the end ofs this tffeQcjli, I dug an
other, similar, and planted itru the same
way, and so on until the row w^s finished.
By this mode the vines are two place,
and each two, four feet from the nexaBin the
row* The next row I planted tw
from the first, in the same way. The
cond ypar and third year, when the shoot?
were long enough, I dug a trench crossways,
from each row, four feet long, towards the
opposite row, and laid down the branches,
or shoots, from the first planted rows, in
them, letting the ends of the two vines be a
little above the ground; by this means twa
rows in the twelve feet interval are formed,
which makes all the rows four feet apart.
Pruning.—The first year none; the se
cond year very little ; the third year I. cut
them off about eighteen inches from tho
ground, in March; the fourth year I cut'
them from two to three feet high, taking
away all but one branch from each vine, for
trailing to make the new' rows, or for cuttings
to set elsewhere. Some of the vines bore
grapes the third year, on the shoots which
grew the second year, (as it is always on the
last year’s shoots the grapes are borne,) af*
ter which these shoots, which have borne,
are taken away, and the shoots of the pre-'-
ceding year left to bear, by being cut from
three to four feet high, tying them to a prop?
or stake. When the young clusters appear,
I pinch off the shoot above the second clus
ter, and also the buds or sprouts which put
out at the butt-end of the stem of the leaves,
which sprouts would form limbs or branches
that would encumber the clusters, and rob;
them too much of the benefit of the Sun andi
air, and also draw away too much of the sap
of the vine from the grapes, and thus prevent
them from coming to perfection. . -
Gathering.—I cut the clusters off a
carry them to the press. The epoch
maturity is about the first of October,
then mash the grapes well, and press them
like cider, &c. &c. &c.
* * * * <'4
Expenses.—I calculate it cost m6 seven-,
ty-five dollars per acre to plant and attend
to the vines, until they began to bear the
third year. . 5
Quantity.—In four acres, about one-f
fourth bore grapes the third year, and I made
about three barrels of wine; the fourth year
1 made thirteen barrel^ the fifth year, thir
ty-one barrels, (fifteen and a half hogsheads.)
But l must observe, that many of the vined
were young, and I took away many that
were not of a good sort, and replaced them,-
and the first vines were two years old, and
in "some places three, before they were suf
ficiently lung to trail, and form the interme
diate rows; so that, in the fifth year, some
were but two, and some three years old ;
course not in a bearing condition. 1 think
may safely say, not more than half were/]
a bearing conation.*
Price.—We,got for the
dollars per gailon. Afterward* we
three, and we art now selling at two
the gallon. - ~
Cutting?:—The last season we sold four-
thousand, about four feet long, at thir-
llarsper thousand, $420,
