Some Hybrids

Fig. 25. An Ft hybrid between V. cordifolia 
(female) and V. rotundifolia (male), 1918. Two 
existing vines of this type are the first hybrids to 
be recorded between these two species of grapes. 
The character of the growth is very much that of 
the female parent species. Reduced.

VI. Oberlin Vine X Mal¬ 
aga, 1917. 
Vines one year old from 
seed. 
Stems and bark are hy¬ 
brid in character. The 
leaves are thin, light green, 
smooth and glossy above, 
paler beneath and villous 
especially along the veins 
and petiole, variably lobed; 
teeth large. 
This description of the 
Rotundifolia-Vinifera hy¬ 
brids is not extensive but 
it is sufficient to point out 
some of the hybrid charac¬ 
ters of the vines, 
VII. VlTIS CORDIFOLIA X 
VlTIS ROTUNDIFOLIA 
(1-1), 1917. 
This description is taken 
from one-year-old vines. It 
will be only general in char¬ 
acter. 
Stems (first year) : Very 
slender, dark red in color; 
leaves small, dark green 
above, paler beneath with 
pubescence along the veins, 
slightly silky when young, 
acuminate; pith mostly con¬ 
tinuous. The growing habit 
of these vines is similar 
to that of Cordifolia seed¬ 
lings. The vines are too 
small for minute description 
at this time. 
VIII. Concord X Rotun¬ 
difolia (Gr-52), 
1917. 
Stem: Distinctly hybrid 
in character; bark persist-
