FANCHER CREEK NURSERIES. 53 THE GRAPE. The geographical distribution of the grape is indeed a wide one, and includes most all countries coming within the tropical and temperate zones. It finds, however, its most vigorous development in the warmer sec- tions of the temperate areas, enjoying its greatest luxuriance at a point where the two zones meet, if such an expression be allow- able. Hence we find grape culture the lead- ing horticultural pursuit in the warmer re- gions of France, Germany, Italy and the Mediterranean regions, in the foothill lands of Australia, on the higher plateaus of the Philippines, along the base of the mountains of the South American States, particularly in the foothill sections of the mountain val- leys. In California, and especially in the San Joaquin Valley, it finds ideal conditions, and in Fresno County, the raisin and the wine sorts constitute our leading industry, easily leading all others in money value and commercial importance. Owing to these facts, the Fancher Creek Nurseries have long made grape-growing a special study as well as a leading division of its large propagating business. This experience not only covers a wide range, but embraces years of ex- perimental culture, which has given us a basis for the selection of varieties calculated to meet every condition of soil and at the same time prove profitable to the growers. At present our stock both in the growing stage and ready for marketing, comprises all the best sorts in raisin, wine and table varieties, embracing all told upwards of a million plants or rootings. Observations made in Europe, and a close study of con- ditions prevailing in the South American States have gi
