Bicolor is readily distinguished from AEstivalis by the absence of the reddish pubescence and by blooming slightly later. The habitat of Bicolor is to the north of that of AEstivalis, occupying the northeastern, whereas AEstivalis occupies the southeastern quarter of the United States. Like AEstivalis, this species is not confined to streams and river banks but frequently grows on higher land also. It is found in north Missouri, Illinois, southwestern Wisconsin, Indiana, southern Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York, southwestern Ontario, New Jersey and Maryland and by some botanists is reported as far south as western North Carolina and west Tennessee. The horticultural characters of Bicolor are much the same as those of AEstivalis. About the only points of difference are that it is much hardier (some of the Wisconsin vines stand a temperature as low as 20 degrees below zero); it is said to be slightly less resistant to mildew and more resistant to phylloxera. Like AEstivalis, Bicolor does not thrive on limy soils and it is difficult to propagate from cuttings. The horticultural possibilities of Bicolor are probably much the same as those of AEstivalis, although many think it to be more promising for the North. It is as yet cultivated but little. Its chief defect for domestication is the small size of the fruit. 9. _Vitis candicans_, Englem. Mustang Grape.
