 V. Vinifera. The leaves are of medium size, three-lobed, with 

 obtuse lobes not deeply separated ; upper-surface dark-green, glossy, 

 very uneven, with a few silky hairs ; under-surface pale-green, with

 well-drained soils of a dark colour. It is a vigorous spreading 

 grower, with wood of a pale-pink colour; leaves large, three, five, 

 and rarely seven lobed, lightish-green above, pale-green below ; two 

 series of blunt teeth; bunch rather small, close; berries small, round, 

 thin-skinned, dark -red or black, covered with bloom.

 all the American direct producers; also suitable as a resistant stock 

 to graft on, although inferior in this respect to certain varieties of V. 

 Riparia and V. Rupestris.
