With the frontispiece-portrait of Edward Staniford Rogers, pioneer in grape hybridization. At head of title: State of New York--Department of Agriculture. 15th annual report--vol. 3--pt. 2. Indeed, from 1905-1925, the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station (NYSAES) published a series of seven monographs on hardy fruits as components of their annual report. The work on grapes offers a complete scientific, cultural and economic record, botanical history, and ideal geographic growing locations, covering far more than New York State. It remains a reference to this day.
