Mr. T. V. Munson tells the Wine Grower that:

"A number of the Faculty of the Geological Survey of Canada have very kindly aided me in determining the Northward distribution of Vitis in America, and some doubtful points 1 settled for them. One was, that they had classified certain long-leaved forms of V. Riparia as Cordifolia, and others with broader, more shouldered leaves, as V. Cordifolia, and had put the limits of Cordifolia almost identical with V. Riparia, but their specimens sent me showed they had nothing North of the Western Peninsula of Ontario but V.

Riparia, and that it extends from Nova Scotia, in its most Northern range, Westward across the St. Lawrence, up the Ottawa River, along the Northern borders of Lakes George, Huron, and Superior, to Southern part of Lake Winnipeg, thence up the Assiniboine River 200 miles, but no grapes so far are reported in British Columbia, though so much milder than Manitoba and Canada East, especially near the Pacific and on Vancouver's Island".

The Editor of the Gardeners' Monthly in his collections on the Pacific Coast, collected no specimens North of the upper regions of the Merced River, though no doubt it exists much further North. We should be glad to have notes from readers in Oregon and Washington Territories, as to localities where the wild grape grows - or even British Columbia, if it really has been found there.
