THE GRAPES OF XEW YORK. 



acute or blunt; teeth comparatively small and notched-like, regular, not prominently 

 acute. Clusters large; peduncle long; pedicel slender, short, making the bunch very 

 compact. Berries very small, black with little or no bloom, intensely acid until very 

 ripe or frosted. Seeds small to very small, slightly notched on top; chalaza depressed, 

 oblong-oval; raphe broad, slightly distinct. Leafing, flowering and ripening fruit 

 very late. 



This species seems to have been first described by Munson in 1890 

 under the name of Vitis virginiana. In 1893 he issued a leaflet changing 

 the name to Vitis baileyana. 



It is an upland species growing in the mountain valleys (800 feet and 

 upward) of southwestern Virginia, West Virginia, western North Carolina, 

 Tennessee, northern Georgia and the uplands of western central Georgia. 



Baileyana can be propagated from cuttings only with difficulty. It 

 is of no importance horticulturally.

Vine moderately \-igorous, climbing; shoots more or less angled and pubescent; 

 pubescence remaining only in patches on mature wood; canes mostly with short inter- 

 nodes; diaphragms thick; tendrils intermittent, long, strong, bifid or trifid. Leaves 

 with small stipules; leaf-blade rather large, broadly cordate, notched or shortly three- 

 lobed; petiolar sinus rather open, V- or U-shaped, margin with broad but rather shallow 

 teeth, rather dark glossy green above, grayish pubescence below when young; becoming 

 glabrous and even glossy except on ribs and veins, when mature. Clusters large, com- 

 pact, compound, with long peduncle. Berries small, black, with thin bloom, juicy, rather 

 tart but pleasant tasting when thoroughly ripe. Seeds few, medium to small, short, 

 plump, oval or roundish with short beak; chalaza oval or roundish, distinct; raphe 

 narrow, slightly distinct to indistinct. Leafing, flowering and ripening fruit very late. 



This species was described under the name \'itis bcrlandicri by Plan- 

 chon in 1880. The description was made from herbarium specimens col-
