Descriptive catalogue of deciduous fruit trees, citrus trees, olive trees, and grape vines : ornamental trees, shrubs and roses . descriptivecatal1902fanc Year: 1902 46 Catalogue of the THOMPSON SEEDLESS GRAPES -RESISTANT. The gradual decimation of the vineyards throughout the State brought about by the Phylloxera and mysterious vine disease will make it necessary ultimately to plant all new vineyards on resistant stocks and replace old vineyards with the same class of stock. Having recognized for some time the importance of this work in order that the permanency of new vineyards will be assured, we have decided to make the growing of resistants, one of our specialties, and with this idea in view will experiment with a number of varieties to determine the ones best suited to our soils and climate. The varieties named here, are the ones most extensively planted at the present time in localities where the two diseases already mentioned, are prevalent. Lenoir—This variety has been found to be adapted to heavy, calcareous soils, where other varieties fail entirely. It is highly recommended by Prof. Newton B. Pierce and other well known authorities as a valuable resistant and has been very exten- sively planted in Napa and Sonoma counties. The grapes are rich in coloring mat- ter and are used very largely for coloring clarets. Riparia—One of the very best of the resistants, and adapted to a variety of soils, except those of a gravelly or dry clayey nature. Riparia Gloire de Montpellier—Introduced from France. A vigorous, strong grower, with large foliage. Said to succeed in the light soils. Rupestris—A deep rooting variety succeeding in dry soils and easily grafted. Rupestris St. George—This famous French variety will no doubt prove to be one of our most valuable resistants. It is a vigorous, strong grower and with its deep de- scending roots, it will, no doubt adapt itself to a greater
