The Bulletin 
In the spring of 1911 a layer of this vine was transferred to the Col¬ 
lege grounds in order to have the vine under better observation and 
also to preserve the strain in case destruction should threaten the orig¬ 
inal vine. This precautionary measure was indeed a fortunate one, be¬ 
cause during the spring of 1916 the original vine was destroyed by fire.
