Excerpt from Bench-Crafting Resistant Vines
In the same year the Station published an appendix to the Viticultural Report of 1896, entitled Resistant Vines, by Professor Hayne, in which was given a summary of what is known in France of the practical selection and adaptation of resistant vines and also of the methods of grafting adapted to these vines. During the years 1898 and 1899 the two varieties which seemed to have given the most general satisfaction and for which there was the most demand were again placed upon the Distribution List. These varieties were Rupestris St. George and Riparia Gloire de Montpellier.
