The Spaniards in 1564 also made wine of the wild grapes of Florida. After testing the wine and finding it inferior to that produced in their old homes^ they were more determined to grow vineyards of the choicest grapes of Europe. The Erench established a vineyard of this kind in Virginia, and another in southern Illinois ; and William Penn did the same near Phila- delphia in 1683. The most notable attempt that was made was by John James Dufour, a native of Switzerland. He came to America in 179...6, and at once set about doing the wisest thing that he could have done, by first visiting and critically examining the vineyards that had already been started. He was not favorably impressed by what he saw, for the European vines had done very poorly, because of some unknown disease or weakness that seemed to cause them to make but feeble growth, or gradually dwindle and die. The- cause has since been found to have been the fungus diseases and insect pests- that are peculiar to the eastern half of America.
