Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...especially with white chalky rock, as found in the black lands of the cretaceous soils of Texas, are strong in lime. In Bell, Lampasas and adjacent counties the lime in places is in such large per cent that very few plants or trees will grow in such places. The Red Cedar trees; Berlandieri, Mustang (Candicans), Champini and Monticola grapes I have found growing in such places without any appearance of chlorosis, while peach trees, Concord and Post-Oak grapevines planted in such soils, quickly yellow and die. Hence, it is necessary, to success in long life in vines, to plant only those adapted to the soils. I have not conducted any systematic test upon soils having a greater excess of lime than 40 per cent, hence have no tables of experience on such soils to present, but have formed my conclusions on adaptability to such soils by extended observation over the State and from reports of careful experimenters in limy soils in Texas. The Berlandieri, Champini, Doaniana and Rupcstris, natives of Texas, with Bourquiniana and Vinifera, foreign, are giving best results in hybridization for very limy soils. Varieties much subject to rot and mildew should not be planted in regions, such as the forest area of East Texas, unless thoroly treated with spray of sulphate or carbonate of copper solution, but they may do well in Central and Western Texas, if set in proper soil and site, without spraying. No grape will succeed in boggy or seepy soil, and a high location surrounded by lower grounds is preferable to the reverse location, on account of-late frosts and fungus diseases prevailing much more in low than high localities. A careful study of the following tables will pretty well guide one safely in choosing varieties for profit and long life in various soils and locatio...
