Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Culture of the Vine: As Well Under Glass as in the Open Air
The early history of the vine is involved in obscurity. Many people consider its native country to be Syria but this appears exceedingly doubtful. It has been supposed that the vine was trained and reared by the hand of man almost immediately after the subsiding of the great waters of the deluge, as we find recorded in the 9th Chapter of Genesis, that Noah began to be an husbandman, and planted a vineyard.
