By Charles Joly. Among the many able essays continually offered to the French Society of Horticulture this one is prominent. He tells the French people of the wonderful progress of grape culture in our country, but comforts them by saying that it will be a long time yet before there will be an end to vine culture in the Old World, notwithstanding America's wonderful progress; but it is interesting to French horticulturists as well as the rest of the world to study the marvelous progress of the two races of English speaking people, the one in Australia, the other in America, free from all slavery, marching on to the conquest of the soil; rivalling, in their activity to develop the riches of labor, the older nations of Europe that depend chiefly on human blood and military glory to finally resolve the great problems of society.
