Of some sixty leading varieties of Vinifera grapes, collected from Japan, Persia, Greece, 

 Italy, Spain, Hungary and France, and tested as to hardiness, healthiness, bearing qualities, 

 size, beauty, quality, market and wine properties, have selected the following as the most desirable

 without irrigation.
