* J'. J'nlpina. Conforming to tlie rules, now almost 

 universally adopted among botanists, tit iipply the old- 

 est name ever used by a botanist of standing, Munson 

 gives preference to " V. Vulpina," being the earliest 

 name, established by Linna:us; it was found to be cer- 

 tainly identical with r. liiparia of Michaux. Origin- 

 ally tlie V. Labr>isca was i)opularly known as the Nortli- 

 ern .Muscadine and tlie V. Jiot'undifolia as Southern 

 ISluscadine, while V. Cordifolia is commonly called Fox 

 grape, and common people as well as l)()t anists regarded 

 then the small sour grapes of New England as " t-orr/i- 

 folia," i. e. Fox grapes, (after .Esop's well-lvnown fable). 

 Hence the name " F«/y>(nrt," and Munson says: it had 

 bet ter be observed, as the surest way out of confusion ; 

 moreover, he considers tlie name V. Rparia (riverside 

 grape) not very appropriate, as there are several 

 species that grow along river banks. 



The editors of this catalogue beg to prefer the name 

 r. Riparia, to which they will iver remain attached. 

 En<ielm.\nn, Planchon and many others adopted it. 

 To one l)otanist, who may call it Vuli)ina, adding: "or 

 liiparia," thousands of grape-growers know it under no 

 other name than Kii^aria. Custom must rule, it is the 

 source of law.

** This reminds us forcibly of the " Pedro Ximciies" 

 (called also 'White (Jreen Riesling), which wasljcbeved 

 to have l)een brought to Spain fi'om the l)anks of tlie 

 Moselle by the man whose name it bears, Count Odart, 

 a celel3rated ampelogranh, wittily said: "If he (Xi- 

 menes) took any he took ai,l, for no such vine grows 

 now north of the Pyrenees." Thus we also think: If 

 Mr. Bourtiuin took any of the above grapes he took 

 ai.i,, for no Herbemontov Lenoir can now be found native 

 in Europe.— B. & S. & M. 



t V. Virc/iniana had already been used as a synonym 

 for V. Vulpina, and probal)ly some other species, hence 

 a new name is I'eiiuired liy botanical rules of classifica- 

 tion. Munson chose the name Baijlei/ana, in deference 

 to Prof. L. H. Bailey.
