the European. The long and patient experiments of Millardet l 

 are the most conspicuous amongst many which, by means of 

 -rafting and hybridization, have aimed at obtaining disease-proof 

 vines. Millardet, out of numerous hybrids raised by him, has 

 -ucceeded at last in obtaining vines with roots proof against 

 phylloxera, leaves resistant to attacks of downy mildew, and 

 -rapes which impart the esteemed flavour to the various old 

 and well-known European wines. From these many ruined 

 vineyards of southern France have been already re-stocked, and 

 promise well. 



The results obtained from Eriksson's investigations on cereal- 

 rusts are also worthy of notice. 2 This investigator, after carrying 

 nn cultivations for a number of years, has found that there are 

 varieties of wheat able to resist the more frequent forms of 

 rust, and in no way endangered by them. By a similar method 

 of investigation, varieties suitable for cultivation in the rust- 

 infested districts of Australia have also been obtained.
