X Berlandieri would be preferable to pure Berlandieri if they 

 possessed good phylloxera-resistant qualities. 



We know how difficult it is to multiply this species from 

 cuttings ; its hybrids, on the contrary, are very easily mul- 

 tiplied by this means; they knit perfectly, are very fruc- 

 tiferous, and do not present any pad of knitting tissue at the 

 joint. 



Among these hybrids we will mention the Tisserand 

 (Cabernet X Berlandieri No. 333 of the School of Agricul- 

 ture, Montpellier) (Fig. 89), which has always remained green 



Fig. go. Leaf of Chasselas X Berlandieri, No. 41, Millardet and de Grasset.
