CULTtvATioN OF THE VINE alabama Wines
Every days experience furnishes additional evi.
dence of the peculia: adaptation of the climate
| and soil of Alabama to the culture of the Vine.


We believe there is no country on the face of the
globe where it can be carried to greater degree
| of perfection or attended with greater or more
certain profit. Every variety Of Grape can be
cultivated with very little trouble and expense


The vine yields with wonderful profusion, and
the fruit is remarkable for the richness of its fla


vor. The numerous vineyards which surround
our city, though on q limited scale, and intend.
ed for nothing more than convenience, ornament
and luxury, furnishes incontestible evidence Of the
truth of our remarks. No one, we will venture
to say, could have visited the beautiful vineyards
of Captain Fowler or Mr.. Donaldson In this vi
cinity, last season, without being struck with as
constituent at the vast quantity of delicious fruit
produced at so little trouble and expense. These
remarks have been suggested by the reception of
four bottles of Wine, from our valued friend and
enterprizing fellow citizen, James Magofin, Esq,
of ST. Stephens who has for many years devoted
much attention to the cultivation Of the Vine, and
to whom we have been frequently Indebted, here
tofore, for favors Of similar character to that
which we now gratefully acknowledge. The
four specimen bottles which he has now sent US,
contain as many varieties Of Wine-alI, the pure
juice of our mGtice grape-of fine body and deli
cious flavor. Accompanying the Wine was a
pyiDaIe note, which our friend must excuse US for
publishing in part Mobile AdterIiser
