I know well that I am not a botanist, and would never permit myself to 

 contradict authorities like Mr. Foese, if I had not made just these grape 

 species the object of my observations and experiments for 17 years. 



The grape of V. Rupestris has particularly large berries and would make 

 its planting for the sake of its fruit not entirely worthless. 

 Respectfully greeting, 



Hermann Jaeger. 



IUI III!
