I know that there are Mugtang^grapes, «hieb are white. 



My deceased friend, Mr. Jacob Boll in Dallas m*de a very ple*sinsr ™ine 

 from them, and nothing is more probable than f ?ro^ B crossin^ of such Candicana 

 with Rupestris f *r*pes have resulted which *re of medium Bise, white and nrell- 

 tasting. (see V.A.) 



The Rupestris can easily be crossed with Cordifolia , Aestiylis . Riparia « 

 I know from experiments I have made, aa well as from wild grapea in the southweat, 

 which distinctly prove such hybridization. 



Enclosed herewith are leaves of Rupestris ; Candicans from the region of 

 Dallas, and what I consider is a hybrid of these two. 



I would be very much obliged to you for an answer to this and will be glad 

 to be of return-services to you. 



Asking for your kind returning of the V.A. I am 

 Respectfully yours, 



Hermann Jaeger.
