in certain whitish marly soils, in which the proportion of 

 carbonate of lime is not too high. 



Barnes. A form isolated by T. V. Munson, growing badly 

 from cuttings, of extraordinary vigour, with large trunk, 

 strong canes, slightly fluted, of a blackish-brown colour. 

 Leaves (Fig. 74) medium, very thick, sub-cordiform, 

 slightly folded along the mid-rib, very green and lustrous ; 

 petiolar sinus open, deep V shape ; under-face of a dull 

 green, with fluffy hair on the principal ribs, which are 

 strong and deprived of the stiff hair of the Berlandieri ; 

 teeth only slightly indicated by a mucron. Most of the 

 Berlandieri X Candicans have no stiff hair on the ribs. This 

 form becomes yellow during the first year of planting out in 

 the chalks of Cognac. 



Berlandieri X Candicans Bouisset. A form isolated and 

 named by T. V. Munson ; according to him it roots freely. 

 This form is certainly a hybrid of Berlandieri and Mustang; 

 it seems to be only slightly vigorous, and has become very 

 yellow in the chalks of Cognac. Its habit is bushy ; canes 

 with short internodes, dull hazy colour, with slightly 

 indicated flutings ; numerous woolly patches of hair on 

 the young shoots. The leaves are small, very thick, 

 slightly folded along the mid-rib, sides plane, rudimentary 

 teeth; petiolar sinus V shape, deep, wide; upper- face 

 deep green, shining; under-face glabrous, lighter green, 

 almost dull ; petiole slender, with woolly hair. 



Lady-Love. A form isolated by T. V. Munson, and 

 possessing many of the characters of the Mustang; canes 

 fluted, similar to V. Berlandieri. Leaves medium or large, 

 thick and plane, dull ; petiolar sinus deep, lozenge shape ; 

 principal ribs covered with long woolly hair, and white on 

 the under-face. This cepage has not been experimented 

 upon in France, but does not seem to be superior to Mustang; 

 it roots freely. 



Hybrids of V. Candicans and V. Rupestris These 

 hybrids have existed for a long time in France ; they were 

 first isolated by J. E. Planchon, under the name of 

 V. Champini or Champin vines. Their general characters 

 are very similar to those of Monticola X Candicans and 

 Berlandieri X Candicans. The Rupestris X Candicans com- 

 prise a very numerous series of forms intermediate between 

 Rupestris and Candicans ; some have the bushy habit, the 

 small, shining, folded leaf of the Rupestris, others have the
