By far the greater number of our valuable American grapes are 
from the Labrusca class, which succeeds over a wider range of 
country than any of the others. Varieties of the Hiparia and jEsti- 
valis class seem better adapted to the South and Southwest, and it is 
from these two classes that the majority of our native American 
wine grapes have originated. Roger’s hj^brids, all of which possess 
foreign blood, are from Vinifera crossed with our native species, or 
their descendants. Most of the Roger’s family are fine, showy 
grapes, and where mildew and rot are not prevalent, succeed well.
