Breeding New Varieties of Grapes Especially Adapted to 

 Conditions In Virginia" ^ To (1) develop superior varieties of 

 eastern bunch grapes adapted to eastern Virginia where uneven 

 rii)enlng of fruit, prevalence of black rot, and mildew are 

 problems, adapt varieties to other sections where skin crack- 

 ing and disease susceptibility are limiting factors; (2) develop 

 new varieties conibining desirable cheuracteristics of European 

 Vltis vinifera L, with American species possessing winter 

 hardiness and resistance to disease and insects; and, (3) anal- 

 ysis: of genetic characters and mode of inheritance in grapes,
