AMERICAN-JAPANESE HYBRIDS 
Native or American types are hardy but cannot compare in quality with other 
types. Hybrids between Japanese and American plums are superior to our native 
sorts and are hardy in cold regions. They can be grown where the more tender 
sorts are winter killed.

GRAPES 
The Geneva Experiment Station has introduced over 25 varieties of grapes. 
Many of them have proved of merit in New York State and in other grape- 
growing areas throughout the United States. Some of the most promising 
seedlings have been found too tender to withstand test winters that occasion- 
ally occur, or too susceptible to certain diseases as the mildews and black rot. 
Reports on the performance of any of the introductions is solicited for it 
forms the basis of our recommendations.
