Description

"The Present Condition of Grape Culture in California," George Husmann, extracted from the "Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture" federal report, 1899. The item includes some early history, a discussion of the recent depression and difficult trade conditions, the future of the industry, descriptions of varieties and machinery, comments on raisins and table grapes, and a conclusion. The eleven-page article is loose, as extracted, but the pages are clean, so the condition is fair.
