AMEKICAN VINES. 41 



BERLANDIERI RESSEGUIER, No. 1. 



This form, selected by E. Resseguier, of Alenya (Pyrenees 

 Orientales), 'has generally grown well in calcareous soils. 

 The general tint is bright, light-green ; wood, hazel colon; 

 and shining ; leaves', large, elongated, margins often parallel, 

 often regularly folded along the mid-rib, sometimes plain, 

 relatively thin, supple, and smooth ; upper portion of grow- 

 ing shoot ashy colour and slightly carmine. Young leaves of a 

 golden yellow passing slowly to the definitive tint ; petiolar 

 sinus V shaped ; very vigorous form. 



BERLANDIERI RESSE*GUIER, No. 2. 



Selected by Resseguier like the No. 1. It has been very 

 much propagated, and has given good results as a graft- 

 bearer in soils where vines get chlorosed easily. General 

 tint very deep-green, varnish like, wood hazel colour, 

 strongly striated and excoriated ; leaves deep-green, shining 

 as if varnished on the upper face, rounded, thick, margins 

 strongly undulating, often folded conically, teeth very blunt, 

 petiolar sinus U or lyre shaped. Apex of shoot whitish, 

 slightly carmine ; young leaves violet bronze, ashy colour, 

 becoming pure bronze, and passing suddenly to the definitive 

 tint. 



BERLANDIERI DAIGNERE. 



Very vigorous and differing very little from the above. 

 Its leaves are more involute. It has generally given good 

 results in calcareous soils. 



BERLANDIERI OF ANGEAC. 



This form, which resists in the Charentes a high percent- 

 age of lime, is very vigorous, and seems to be a good graft- 

 bearer in such soils. Its leaves are rather dull with light- 

 green veins prominent on the limb ; teeth well marked, 

 fluffy hair along the veins of the upper-face ; buds yellowish- 

 white with a light carmine border more accentuated on the 

 young leaves ; wood rather reddish for a Berlandieri. 



BERLANDIERI VIALA. 



This form, selected and dedicated to Viala by Munson, 

 grows in the most chalky soils of Texas, but its vigour is less 

 than that of those already described, it cannot, therefore, be
