On this account the French growers selected the more vigorous forms of the Vulpinas, to which they gave Varietal names, as Vulpina Gloire, Vulpina Grand Glabre, Vulpina Schribner, Vulpina Martin and others.

However this may be, I think that it is wise to throw all of our cultivated garden sorts, except the Pear, the Cherry, and the Grape-which I regard as distinct species-together under the name of L. esculentum, even when we know they have originated by direct crosses with the other species; and it is well to classify the upright growing sorts under the Varietal names, L. validum, and the larger, heavier sorts, as L. grandifolium, as has been done by Bailey.
