 the cultivation of Native Grape, and the manufacture of American Wines
The raisin Industry
II Vino undici conferenze fatte nell'inverno dell'anno 1880 (Italian) 
American Grape training

Forum Members A tip that might help
I just looked at the trees of Texas didn't see the INDEX

HOLD CTRL (and) F pops  up a find box (type in INDEX)
(Index at end of page No wonder)

this is good to use if you  lose your place in reading as well on the page.

(I just also clicked (ctrl f) edible never know they had Dwarf Chestnuts Castanea pumila or knew of them at all.
 but only 11 tree's listed as such not even pawpaw was so .)
I never knew of the fruit tree ( ANAQUA(Ehretia anacua) either in the borage family or know much fruits  that are in that family.
sounds like hackberry (hemp or elm family ) some sites say with thin flesh, and large seed, others do not (and not listed on TFF)

The Administrator had a tip for a Computer without a back screen LIGHT
maybe someone can chime in to hard to read for a long while staring at light.

Today I found something on Worldcat appears to be a library search

I know you can request books through book Mobile , and have them shipped from different states
My neighbor works there

I never have looked into it yet , but today I saw this pretty useful

Was looking up June berries ( USA natives in apple family that taste like Blueberries with almond flavor(in tiny seed)
G. N. Jones in American Species of Amelanchier (1946)

See it is at Mortum Arboretum 15 or so miles (and I'm a member to see the trees too.)

https://www.worldcat.org/title/american-species-of-amelanchier/oclc/777475

WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services.
WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their resources on the Web,
 where most people start their search for information.

busy Got to go , but may add more to this post below of what I learn.

[Francis_Eric]

Finding information I Like to open a bunch of tabs, and weed out the bad ones
fastest way to find Okay links ---

While not on the subject Be like the tarahumara Indians , and run all the time

https://ultrarunninghistory.com/tarahumara/

Diet Yes but No too , being active Oxygen serotonin  flowing through the blood stream, and brain
Being active outdoors in fresh air  releases  Oxytocin , endorphins helping with depression , and creativity
eat as healthy as can be , but Plenty of centenarians have Non healthy eating habits like fried Chicken
 (saw a centenarian on TV said favorite food was fried chicken).

If you are interested in older books on American viticulture, the you should add The Culture of the Grape and Wine-Making by Robert Buchanan to your reading list. My 1853 fourth addition also has an "appendix containing directions for the Cultivation of the Strawberry" by Nicholas Longworth. I am sure it is digitized somewhere online, but since I have an original book, I have no need to stare at a computer screen.

This topic should also probably be moved to the temperate fruit section.

Not a big runner , but riding my bike 40 miles a day in the past kept me sane
Actually slow though but still got creative doing it
Good when you worked 70 to 77 hours a day every day of the year (not sure if It was 10 hours a day or 11)
but happier then than I am now.
Think of all those Rock stars doing all those reckless things, and being old though
Glad I do not use drugs never did really , but some of these guys still going, after crazy living must of been pretty active doing some stuff.

I agree I am always the one on the train with a old newspaper
Plan to copy some of these onto paper or read in moderation.

Thanks for the link.  I o u one.

But now I know why older generation hates computers!  Reading a dam book online is hell, compared to actually having a real book in hand.

Quote Moderator (on the tropical fruit resource page searching eyes)
wish I knew more about technology seems to be pretty expensive to buy those like a $1000 correct me if I am wrong -- so I have not looked to get one.

If you get an ebook reader (not an ipad) with an e-ink screen it is much easier to read than from a computer screen. Eink does not have a backlit display to tire your eyes, nor is there nearly as many problems with glare. The only problem with the eink kindle is that is does not support the open source epub format as yet while the Sony ereader and the Nook do. The kindle fire supports epub but it is not eink. Also, ebook readers have battery lifespans of days or weeks before needing charging again.

I do not think it should be moved
This is resources even for tropical things

I am still looking on sites , but did read something on tropical stuff on there .

Trellis can be used for Muscadine grapes (like on link)
So not oinly used for temparate fruits

[Francis_Eric]

(also will be good for me  I plan to go to Denver Tomorrow (CO wild flowers) ,
but actually have a book on plants herbs for Colorado , but may be useful still)
