About this book
The grapes of New York, by U. P. Hedrick, tells how the grape industry of the Hudson River Valley began with Parmentier and the Underhills. The text says the Underhills planted a vineyard of Catawbas and Isabellas in 1827, and that these vineyards grew until they covered seventy-five acres.
Alphonse Loubat planted a vineyard of forty acres at Utrecht, Long Island, containing about 150,000 plants of foreign varieties. The text says the variety Brown has not received favorable recognition from the grape-growers of New York, and that as the variety grows on the Station grounds the quality is only good, not high, and the berries shatter badly. The descriptions include Delaware Seedling No. 4, a seedling of Delaware crossed with Gen. Marmora, from Dr. W. A. M. Culbert, Newburgh, New York.
