In submitting to the agricultural community the following pages, I am incited by a deep conviction of the importance of the subject. Having long entertained a predilection for the Vine, I have been naturally led to an investigation of the habits of the plant, and an observation of the different methods of vine dressing in those countries where fortune has thrown me.
During a residence of five years in the vine districts of France, Switzerland, and Italy, I had the most favourable opportunities — particularly in Switzerland — to study the theory, and observe the practice of their cultivation and wine making; to inquire of intelligent proprietors the results of their operations and investments; to mix with the vine dressers in the several divisions of labour; and to compare with the agriculture of our country the expenses and returns of the land holder and farmer, under their peculiar circumstances and different cultivation. The result is, a decided conviction of the profits of vine growing, and a settled belief, that by adopting the system of Swiss cultivation, we shall in time succeed in the difficult task of acclimating to our country, the foreign vine.
