winter. 
A vigorous, climbing vine; roots vigorous, tender, penetrating more deeply 
than any other species of grape; endures great drought and heat; free from 
disease; long-lived; foliage thick; difficult to grow from cuttings; about 75 
percent resistant to Phylloxera; commonly occurs on limestone soil although 
thriving in nearly any soil; seedlings at first feeble, later very vigorous. 
Var. coriacea Bailey has smaller and more edible fruit, and occurs within ths 
range of the species. 
Vitis caribaea, see Vitis sola.

A robust, climbing vine; roots deep-penetrating, large, much-branched; often 
occurs on limestone soil but will grow on a variety of soils; about 60-percent 
resistant to Phyllowera; resistant to Anaheim disease; resistant to cold and 
drought; staminate vines commonly fewer in its native habitats than the 
pistillate ones; 80 percent of cuttings root; often forms dense thickets. Has 
been considered a possible hybrid between V. rupestris or V. berlandieri, and 
VY. candicans. 
Vitis cinerea Hngelm. Sweet winter grape. 
Range: 11, 17, 20, 22, 28, 25, 29, 30.

A vigorous, high-climbing vine; flowers May—June; commonly occurs on deep, 
rich, riverbank soils; roots large, fleshy, deep-penetrating, scarcely fibrous; very 
long-lived, resistant to great extremes of drought and moisture; free from 
Gisease; 75 percent resistant to Phylloxera; resistant to cold; about 25 percent 
of cuttings root; often difficult to reproduce by cuttings. 
Vitis cordifolia Michx. Frost grape. 
Range: 17, 20, 22, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30. 
Site: Well-drained, moist, sun. 
Hruit: Berry, available August—-October, often persistent. 
A large, vigorous, high climbing vine; flowers May-June; roots strong, hard, 
fairly deep-penetrating ; nearly completely resistant to Phyllovera; resistant to 
mildew, rot, and drought; very resistant to cold; cuttings grow with difficulty, 
approximately 25 percent being successful; occurs on calcareous, sandy, and 
other soils. Var. sempervirens Muns., occurring within the range of the species, 
has more persistent foliage, is more sensitive to cold, and has fruit which ripens 
later than that of the species. 
Stomach records: Twenty-eight species cf birds, including ruffed grouse, bob- 
white, and wild turkey. Observations: Cardinal, gray-cheeked thrush.
