Will be a ready sale for California grapes
at from 20 to 25 cents per pound. The
reduction of rates on the railroad is
gertain to follow its completion, and as
__the cost of producing grapes. is proved
by carefal estimates to be from three
quarters to a cent and a half per pound,
the profits will be" very large. From.
Mr. Waite’s vineyard in this city,
‘which. covers a little less than an acre of
ground, 15,000 pounds have been gathered in a single season, -It is thought
that grapes can be delivered in Chicago at-from four to five cents per.
pound, including cost of transportation
andproduction. This would give a
profit of ten cents per pound in Chicago
and at least fifteen in New York,
agricultural districts cannot ‘puccess—
fully, compete with the mountains in
the cultivation of the grape or the manufacture of wine. The western slope
of the Sierras from Plumas to San Joaquin, isthe favored region for vine cul—
ture on this coast, and along this district all the light wines so popular for
table canbe manufactured, while the
valleys can only produce successfully
the heavier wines. The San Francisco
Herald in speaking of . this locality for
grape culture, says:
“The experiments of the past in the
caltivation of the grape and of wine.
making have solved the problem of the
fature of mining counties, and with the
completion of the Pacific Railroad,opening as it does to the vine grower new
and almost illimitable markets for the
fresh fruit, we expect to see the business entered into with renewed energy,
and upon & scale ‘that shall make productive “gg te sunny hill slopes from Los
Angeles to Siskiyou. The. highest
points along the Sierras to. which the
successful cultivation of thé grape has~ been carried, are Murphys, in CalaveTas; Placerville and -Georgetown, in
El Dorado ; Auburn, in Placer; Nevada
City in. Nevada, and Downieville ,in Sierra county, where fruit of a superior
quality is produced. There are no good
reasons to believe the utmost limits,
have been reached where the growth
of Bow. vine may pens be undertakén.”
.
There are very many. placus higher
successfully raised. The culture.of the
grape is made profitable where land is
worth from one to two hundred dollars
per acre before planting, Here lands
are cheap and any of the hillsides sloping to the north where water can_be
procured for irrigation, will produce
excellent grapes. -Of the character. of
the mountain grapes the Herald says:
“It is a marked feature in the horticul~ ture of California, that the. production
of the highest localities where. fruits
are grown along the foot hills of the
is more firm and the fiqvor 1 more mark~
ed and aromatic than in the lower
valleys.” These are the qualities
which will give our mountain grapes.
‘the preference in {Eastern markéts.—
Upon wine made in this State the profits
will be still, larger, and the wines of
California have already, become popular in the East, though much of the
stuff exported might be more properly
labeled vinegar. The ‘inferior wines{
OKO resulted from a total ignorance
of the process of treating.”*The best
wines made by Waite and Seibert will
compare favorably with the best .inported wines,” The former succeeded
in-producing a claret equal to the finest
Bordeaux, and Seibert has made an excellent table claret, For such wines as
these there will always be a liv ely demand in the East, and they. have-the ad~~ yantage ta being brouffrtearly to: their
‘best. We would make one suggestiou
_ to those who purpose planting vines,and
: that is to set.out none but the best va_Tieties, and .these may be ascertained
“by consulting intelligent men who have
engaged) in grape cultare. It costs
g just as much to raise &* poor vine asa

gradually looming up as a rival in such
commodities as come from the East.
It is high time they were taking some
growth of the metropolis. The Nevada
Legislature has. been moving in the
matter, an® some who assume to speak
for the railroad say that they always
intended to reduce rates as soon as the
line was completed, and that the rates
have been kept up to prevent shipments,
because the company had not the means
for transportation. The Sacramento
Union has been in the van in the warfare for cheap rates, and when any demand is so urgently made as this is by
the péople, it is bound to ‘be granted.
We therefore confidently expect that,
-with the.completion of the road, fares
‘and freights will go down. The Tailroad company will be then brought in
. competition with the steamer line, and .
this, if nothing else, must lead to lower
rates, All that is necessary is for people to wait patiently, and continue to
