Limits in Hybridization 
11 
Seven of these surviving vines are said to be of Olivette de Yendemain 
parentage; no mention is made of the other parent vine. The offspring 
of this Olivette de Yendemain are described as “Yariable in vigor and 
character, some being vigorous and others weak; some are more Yinifera 
in type and others more Muscadine.” The eighth seedling was the re¬ 
sult of crossing the variety Scuppernong with pollen from the variety 
Winchell. This seedling is reported as being the only hybrid that has 
been secured by the Department from Scuppernong parentage. It is 
described thus: “It resembles Winchell more than Scuppernong, though 
from a Scuppernong seed.” The description of this vine, meagre as it 
is, when compared with the description of a similar hut reverse cross, 
Winchell x Rotundifolia produced by the North Carolina Agricultural 
Experiment Station in 1912 and which will he found described in the 
succeeding bulletin, seems sufficient to warrant calling this seedling a 
true hybrid. 
The Department reports that in 1914 the following hybrids were pro¬ 
duced and now are growing at Willard, N. C.: 
2 seedlings of Eden X Maravilla de Malaga. 
1 seedling of Thomas X Rodites. 
3 seedlings of Thomas X Carignane. 
1 seedling of Thomas X Noah. 
1 seedling of Y16 R6 B2 X Carignane. 
3 seedlings of V17 R6 B2 X Terret Monstre. 
In 1915 seventy hybrid seedlings were produced which are represented 
by the following Euvitis varieties: 
Muscat of Alexander_(V. vinifera) 
Calabrian _(Y. vinifera) 
Ferrara_(V. vinifera) 
Rodites _(V. vinifera) 
Semilion _(V. vinifera) 
White Hanepoot_(Y. vinifera) 
Prune de Cazouls_(V. vinifera) 
Huasco _(V. vinifera) 
Winchell_(Labrusca-Yinifera-iEstivalis) 
Goethe _(Vinifera-Labrusca) 
Brilliant _(Labrusca-Vinifera-Bourquiniana) 
Catawba _(Labrusca-Yinifera) 
Iona _(Labrusca-Vinifera) 
Ives_(Labrusca-iEstivalis) 
In 1916 a larger crop of hybrid seeds were secured and many seedlings 
are reported to be growing. 
In all of the hybridization work, only imperfect hermaphroditic 
Muscadine vines were used as the female parents because of their 
dioeciousness, and reciprocal crosses apparently were not attempted.
