All these made good growth, and the unions were all 

 apparently strong and well formed. They were planted out 

 in the spring of 1899 in three rows of 2f) vines each, in order 

 to watch their future development. Besides these were also 

 planted out two rows of 25 vines each as follows : One row 

 of Mondeuse, grafted on Riparia Grand Glabre ; one row of 

 Mondeuse, grafted on Rupestris du Lot; and one vine of 

 Mondeuse, grafted on Rupestris x Riparia 3306. 



Eleven other rows of ungraded varieties were planted as 

 follows : One row each of Pinot, Cabernet du Lac, and 

 Hybrid Franc ; two rows each of Rupestris Martin, Rupes- 

 tris x Riparia 101-14, Rupestris x Riparia 3309, and Ru- 

 pestris du Lot; one row each of Vialla and Rupestris
