in resistance there. For example, V. rotundifolia is entirely immune, then Rupestris, Vulpina, 

 Cinerea, Berlandieri, Champini, Candicans, Doaniana, ^Estivalis and Lincecumii are so high in 

 resistance as to be practically uninjured, though they may be attacked, while Labrusca is low 

 in resistance and is much weakened in clay soils, if infested, and Vinifera is entirely non-resistant. 

 It is a native of regions never infested by Phylloxera, until introduced among cultivated vines. 



Select Lists of Varieties for Various Regions 



I shall now name from among the varieties described in the foregoing part of this chapter 

 those especially adapted to the various distinct climatic sections. The varieties named for each 

 section will be mentioned in their alphabetical order. Those better adapted for very limy soils 

 will be followed by the letter (L). All succeed well in sandy lands. For fuller descriptions of 

 each variety, refer to that given in Chapter III. I make no pretense to name all the varieties 

 that will succeed in each zone but give the best selection generally known. There are local 

 varieties, probably, quite as good, in many sections, but have not been widely tested, or 

 become generally known. 



ZONE 1. For the cold Northwestern States of Montana, Wyoming, Dakotas, Minnesota, 

 North Nebraska, North Iowa, and Wisconsin, without winter protection, but on southeastern 

 slopes, in loamy, well-drained soil, with timber protection on north and west, the following succeed. 

 By laying down thru winter and covering with leaves, straw, etc., the varieties mentioned for 

 Zone 2 may be successfully grown in Zone 1 . 



Beta, Clinton, Dakota, Monitor, Montefiore, Suelter. None of these can endure very limy 

 soil. 



Professor N. E. Hanson, connected with the Agricultural College of South Dakota, at Brook- 

 ings, among much work in plant-breeding, has produced some hardy grapes, that may well be 

 added to the above, when disseminated; and the Experiment Station at St. Anthony's Park, 

 Minn., has also been testing grapes, and probably can name a few others for this extremely cold 

 region. It greatly needs further development. 



ZONE 2. For the territory among the Great Lakes, and eastward, including Michigan, 

 Ontario (in part), N. E. New York, Southern Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, in protected 

 situations, the following can be grown without winter covering: Beacon, Bell, Campbell Early, 

 Colerian, Concord, Dracut Amber, Early Ohio, Green Mountain, Headlight, Ives, Lutie, Lucile, 

 Moore Early, Perkins, Vergennes, Woodruff, Worden, Wyoming, and all named for Zone 1. 

 None of these can endure excessively limy soils. The Bell, Green Mountain and Headlight will 

 endure more than the others. By covering through winter, the earlier ripening varieties named for 

 Zone 3 can be grown successfully in Zone 2. Some of the kinds named will require spraying 

 with Bordeaux, or mildew will ruin them in this region, and all will be benefited by it. 



ZONE 3. This region stretches across the continent. It includes Southern Washington, 

 Oregon, Southern Idaho, N. and E. Colorado, Southern Wyoming, Southern Nebraska, Northern 

 Kansas, Southern Iowa, Northern Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, W. and S. New York, 

 Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island. In this region, westward from Missouri the fungus 

 parasites will not be of serious consequence, but eastward, spraying will be necessary to prevent 

 mildew and rot in all Delaware and Vinifera combinations and also in some of the pure natives. 

 All varieties that can be grown in Zone 2 can also be grown in this to still better advantage, 

 excepting those with such poor quality that they would be valueless. Agawam, America, 

 Atoka, Brighton (L), Brilliant (L), Catawba, Delaware (L), Diamond, Dr. Collier, Elvira (for 

 drier parts), Herbert, Hernito, Hopkins (southern parts); Isabella (southern parts); Kentucky 

 (southern parts); Lukfata (L), Lindley, Manson (southern parts); Mericadel (L), Niagara, 

 Norfolk, Ohio, Pocklington, President, Rommel, R. W. Munson, Walter, Wine King* Wapanuka, 

 Xlnta. In Southern Nebraska, Northern Kansas and Southern Iowa, and northern parts of 

 Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, winter protection for most of these will be required.
