Riparia X Rupestris No. 3306 — This variety was raised by 
M. Couderc and reported by him as a strong grower, takint; the 
graft well. Adapted to limestone boiIb. 
Riparia X Rupestris No. 3309 — vory vigorous hybrid. It par- 
takf.'s of the nature of Rupestris and does well in rocky, gravelly 
and calcareous soils of a comparatively dry nature. It sup- 
ports the graft well. It has been tested in California, and some 
prefer it even to Rupestris St. George. It does well in compact, 
dry and clay soils, as well as in dry, rocky soils, provided they are 
not impregnated with stagnant water. 
Rupestris St. George— This variety is also known variously as 
Rupestris du Lot, Rupestris Richter, Sijas, Lacaslelle, Monti- 
cohi X Rupestris, Rupestris Phenomene and is probably a hybrid 
between Alonticola and Riparia. It is one of the most popular 
varieties grown in France and California, and is almost unsur- 
passed in its many good qualities. Growth erect and strong with 
heav>' wood. It succeeds in a greater variety of soils than any 
other resistant stock. It thrives well in light, dry and gravelly 
soils; its roots descending deeply in search of moisture. Does 
well also in soils charged with a heavy percentage of lirne.
