Item description from seller

With George H. Baker's Map of CaliforniaFirst separate edition of this overview of California agriculture, with two folding maps. The text originally appeared as part of the U.S. Census Office Report, 10th census, 1880, Quarto. Original brown publisher's cloth. Title stamped in black ink on front board. A bit of rubbing to outer joints and corners. Internally clean and nice. ix,[1],138 pages plus 2 folding maps (1 printed in color). Pictorial bookplate of Joseph M. Gleason. With George H. Baker's Map of CaliforniaFirst separate edition of this overview of California agriculture, with two folding maps. The text originally appeared as part of the U.S. Census Office Report, 10th census, 1880, v. 6 (p. 651-796), but with only one map. The table of contents also only mentions one map: Agricultural Map of California (1883), which is color printed and present here in beautiful condition. The second map was apparently added to the separate book edition by the Pacific Rural Press: George H. Baker's Map of California and Nevada (San Francisco, 1876), drawn and compiled by Baker for Dewey & Co., publishers of Mining & Scientific Press, Pacific Rural Press.Eugene Woldemar E. W. Hilgard (1833-1916) brought a rigorous, science-forward approach to California agriculture that proved especially consequential for the state s emerging wine industry. After teaching geology and natural history at the University of Michigan (1873-1875), he came to UC Berkeley in 1875 as professor of agriculture and botany, later directing the state s Agricultural Experiment Station and serving as dean of the College of Agriculture. Applying soil chemistry and climate analysis to vineyards, Hilgard helped shape UC s early viticulture-and-enology mission (formalized by 1880 legislation) and published influential guidance on phylloxera and its remedies, including promotion of grafting vinifera onto resistant American rootstocks. He also acted as a public quality advocate: in a widely noted San Francisco Examiner article (Aug. 8, 1889) he blamed the industry s woes on overproduction of poor, unstable wines and argued that better varietal choices, harvest timing, sorting, sanitation, and fermentation practice would raise quality and encourage higher prices, an argument echoed in his UC Experiment Station wine pamphlets such as Shall California make sophisticated wines? (1887).
