Title
New York State "native" grape illustrations
Description
A collection of illustrations from the 1908 book Grapes of New York by Ulysses Prentiss Hedrick. The selections are native grapes, as opposed to European-origin vinifera grapes. These varieties are seen as more "local" options that are better for the environment and require fewer chemicals than vinifera grapes, which needed to be grafted onto the roots of native grapes in order to survive in the Finger Lakes soil.
