Raisin Grapes - The Seedless Varieties, Cultivation And Related Pests And Diseases

F. T. Bioletti's "Raisin Grapes" is a vintage guide to raisin production, exploring their varieties, how they can be grown and harvested, and the common pests and problems that come with doing so. F. T. Bioletti. Frederic Theodore Bioletti (1865 - 1939) was an English-born American vintner. He studied at the University of California, Berkeley from 1889 to 1900, where he worked with prominent soil scientist Professor E.W. Hilgard. His work with Hilgard on the fermentation of wines under different conditions were significant in helping California vintners to refine their wine production practices and improving the resulting wines. Contents include: "The Seedless Raisin in Grapes", "Varieties", "Location and Soil", "Planting the Vineyard", "Costs and Returns", "Saving Raisin by Sulfuring", "Material and Cost", "Specifications for Cutting", "The Material", "Control of Raisin Insects", "Nature of the Injury", "Suggestions for Control", "Insect Trap for Refuse Box", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author and introduction on botany.
