"Prune de Cazouls." — A black grape. Condition .sound. Very 

 bunchy and attractive; berries firm and of rich flavour; should prove 

 a good seller. Both parcels were in good condition. (13s. to 20s.) 



A very fine t/rape; needs a good deal of thinning and trimming . 

 Has not done too well in jjrevious shipments. 



" Gros Colman." — Pirst shipment in splendid condition, but 

 the second was wastj^ and mildew very prominent. Berries were 

 very soft and had become crushed. This variety has not carried well 

 during the present season. It is, however, well known and liked on 

 the market, and seems to have a ready sale. (18s.) 



*' Barbarossa." — The first shipment arrived in perfect condi- 

 tion, but the fruit of the second showed slight waste and mildew. 

 Certain of the berries had collapsed, evidently through pressure, 

 as in nearly every case the bunches were too liea\y. The berries, 

 however, were fine and bold. This grape is well known on the 

 market here, and has a fairly ready sale. (20s.) 



" Laubscher's Gem." — Fine condition. Not known on the 

 market, but salesmen see no reason why it should not be exported, as 

 it apparently carries fairly well. (12s.) 



A fine dark red grape; berries, 'inedium. 



" Barlinka." — Good condition on arrival. Same remarks apply 

 as in the case of "Laubscher's Gein." Should prove a good com- 

 mercial grape. (10s.) 



One of the newer varieties; a good grower and bearer. A very 

 promising grape. Should replace "Barbarossa," as its bunches are 

 smaller and the berries naturally bigger. In a former report it was 

 stated that this grape should, be classed next to " Gros Colman " m 

 tlie dark varieties. 



"Red and White Hauepoot." — Condition very good; nice bold 

 berries. (8s. to 18s.) 



" Directeur Tisserand." — Condition on arrival was vevy good, 

 but it is not known on this market. There would appear to be no 

 reason why it should not be exported, as it seems to carry satis- 

 factorily, (18s.) 



A fine black grape; vigorous grower; should be further experi- 

 mented with. 



"Gros Noir des Beni Abbes." — Very fine bold black grape; 

 stems a little too hard ; very sweet; mildcAv showing on stalk. (18s.) 



One of the neioer varieties. A riatural fine big berry; when 

 young it is inclined to suffer from nonsefting . Vine seems almost 

 to do better in the bush-form than on trellis. A very promising 

 variety. 



" Waltham Cross." — Condition sound. Very fine bold berries, 

 clear and firm ; in fact, this Avas a specially good specimen parcel of 

 this particular variety. (20s.) 



" Cornichon Violet de Tivoli." — A very fine grape of excellent 

 flavour; condition good. (18s.) 



A dark red grape. When well ripe is similar to ''Cornichon 

 Blanc," better known as "Ladies' Finger." Berries just over
