FANCHER CREEK NURSERIES. 57 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 sections of the temperate areas, enjoying its gratest 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, table 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 exper- ience not only covers a wide range, but em- braces years of experimental 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 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 conditions prevailing in the South American States have given us an insight into requirements which gives assurance that what we have to offer will prove desir- able.
