Abstract

The muscadine grape, Vitis rotundifolia, is a native of the Southern States, and is grown commercially in a few states bordering the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. A great deal of work has been devoted to the improvement of this type of grape through breeding, especially by workers at the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station and at the North Carolina Agriculutral Experiment Station in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. As a result of this effort new varieties have been introduced which ripen their fruit more evenly and produce higher yields of berries that are more desirable for fresh usage and for juices, jelly, and wine production.
