The Species of Grapes peculiar to North America

Abstract

This influential work of Liberty Hyde Bailey completes the work begun nearly fifty years earlier on the botanical and horticultural identities of North American grape varieties. The paper includes discussion of history and early interest in species of vitis in North America, botanical nomenclature, systematic succession, hybridity, grape flower, morphologies, phytography and free binomials. Bailey provides an important account of early research and literature published on these topics.
