Aramon x Rupestris-Ganzin No. 1 — All growers admit that this 
variety is one of the most vigorous, as well as one of the moat 
resistant to the phylloxera. It is valuable for all soils of a 
caloareous-clay nature, and for all alluvial soils underlaid by an 
imfjenetrable, hard subsoil. Requires a somewhat moist soil. 
Lenoir — This old-established variety is by Prof. Munson, con- 
sidered as belonging t<> the Vinifera class, though other good 
judges of classiticatinu hold it to be an .-Xmcrican species, or at 
least an American hybrid. It withstands the phylloxera fairly 
well. It produces a fair crop of valuable grapes which produce 
good wine. In France it is much less resistant than in America. 
In some parts of this comitry Lenoir has survived the attacks of 
the phylloxera for twenty years in places where the Vinifera 
grapes have entirely died out. This grape does not grow well 
trom cutlingK and only rooted vines should be planted in the 
vineyard. Requires heavy and clay soils. In France this variety 
is also known as Jaoque. 
Riparia, Gloire de MontpelUer — This variety, which is also 
known as Portalis, is one of the very besy resistant stocks known. 
It is incomparable for all soils which arc moist, deep, rich and 
mellow. It is not suittKl to soils which arc compact, hard and dry. 
Its roots show a remarkable activity and growth, and require 
the best conditions. It is a most vigorous plant, with leaves 
which are infjate*! between the ribs The strong nature of this 
vine enables it to ada|)t itself to conditions during which other 
Riparius would be a faihu-e, but in order to acliieve the greatest 
success it should be limittni to such qualities of soils as are men- 
tioned above. In such soils it is without an equal.
