This volume contains the full unabridged text of seventeen
previously long out of print articles written or co-written in
English and Afrikaans by A I Perold between 1903 and 1923. Abraham
Izak Perold (1880 -1941) has a good claim to being the father of
not only the modern South African wine industry but also those of
brandy and table grapes Dr Perold wrote more than eighty pamphlets
and articles published in English and Afrikaans between 1906 and
1940. These cover topics as varied as a history of grape growing
and wine in South Africa, making brandy and grape syrup, laying out
vineyards, manuring them, pruning vines, training farmers, the
suitability of various rootstocks, yeasts and volatile acidity.
A I Perold (1880-1941) was South Africa's first Professor of
Viticulture and Oenology. He dedicated himself to improving the
quality of grapes for wine, brandy and the table. He studied wine
and brandy production in Europe, imported more than 60 varieties to
the Cape and bred new ones. Perold said this book "is intended to
serve both the student and the practical grape-grower. There are in
it technical passages that will appeal more to the student, e.g.
the chapters dealing with the biology of the vine, its external and
internal morphology, the theory of grafting. My remarks on the
practice of viticulture, such as those dealing with the
propagation, manuring and pruning of the vine, the production of
table grapes for export, will, it is hoped, assist the practical
grape-grower as well as the student." This is a newly typeset
reprint, not a photocopy. Text has been aligned to match the
original pagination so any external references to pages in the
Treatise will be valid in this edition.
