Il6 AMERICAN VINES. 



The resistance to phylloxera of all the forms of V. 

 Vinifera, without exception, is nil. Certain cepages, owing 

 to their inherent great vigour, last longer, such as, for 

 instance, the Colombeau, Etraire de 1'Adhui, Psalmodi, etc., 

 but they all finish by succumbing to the attacks of the 

 insects. This non-resistance to phylloxera, as well as resist- 

 ance to chlorosis, is transmitted to the hybrids resulting 

 from V. Vinifera, and their selection, from this point of view, 

 must be made with the greatest care.
