This staminate vine, however, is one of the best everobserved by the writer among wild vines, while Hope is the first of itskind that was ever recorded among rotundifolia grape -Variations in size of the flower clusters from hermaphroditupright type of stamen. Natural size. rines that bear the The Bulletin 31 When perfect hermaphrodite vines become as plentiful as the stami-nate vines, then by virtue of a wider choice we can expect to find flowerclusters on such vines equally as large as those on any staminate perfect hermaphrodite seedlings now in our possession doubtlesswill produce flower clusters equally as large as those that were observedon the staminate vine, but the average flower clusters on the averageperfect hermaphrodite vines are about the same in size as those onsimilar staminate vines. VII. The Probable Origin of the Hope Vine By comparing descriptions of Hope with that of any staminate vine,one can readily see that the two have many things in common. Bothvines produce pollen which, when mixed, cannot, by aid of the micro-scope alone, be distinguished as being
