MASSACHUSETTS.
Gentlemen,
to dedicate to you reprint Hoare's Prac-Permit me a of
tical Treatise on the Cultivation of the Grape Vine on
OPEN Walls. I am persuaded that a cursory perusal of it will
indicate the causes of the general failure of our vines, and that a
strict adherence to the severe discipline so clearly illustrated by
the author, will restore the confidence of the horticulturists of
Boston and vicinity climate to matureits in the capacity of their
in the open air some of the best varieties of foreign-grapes.
This Treatise has been submitted to the judgment of a distin-
guished horticulturist ; his unqualified approbation ofthe work is
annexed, and will receive from the reader the respect which has
been long rendered to his experience.
That this work may renew the zeal of those of your members
who have labored long in the vineyard without adequate reward,
is the wish, Gentlemen,
Of yours, respectfully,
GEORGE W. BRIMMER.
Boston f September i, 1837.
