108 REPORT ON SOME VARIETIES OF GRAPES, 



rainal lobe, and differing from that variety, and from the Black 

 Prince in being quite smooth ahove and below. 



Burchardf 8 Prince :— Received as Burchardt's N<h 7, from 

 M. BuBCHARDT, Landsberg, on the Warta. Bunches long, 

 tapering, about a foot in length, larger than those of the Black 

 Prince which in their long, tapering, slightly shouldered form 

 they resemble ; pedicels remarkably tiiick and strong ; berries 

 round, scarcely go large as those of the Black Hamburgh, com- 

 pared with wliich it is later, roundish-oval, black with a thick 

 bloom ; flesh firm, juicy, melting, rich and vinous. Leaves open 

 at the base, not deeply-lobed, nearly smooth above and below. 

 A good hanging variety, but requires more heat, 



Fleming's Prince:— from Mr. Fleming of Trentham. 

 Bunch large, loose, long, slightly shouldered ; berries oval, larger 

 than those of the Black Prince, to which they bear considerable 

 resemblance ; skin very thin, bluish-black, with a copious bloom ; 

 flesh tender, juicy, remarkably rich, and very sugary. An excel- 

 lent Grape, but requires a little more vinous piquancy and 



Morocco Prince;— A seedling between the Black Prince and 

 Black Morocco, received from Mr. Buck, of Elford, near Lich- 

 field. Bunches about the size and form of those of the Black 

 Prince ; berries also similar in size, oval, but with a thinner skin, 

 which is tough and membranous, reddish-black, with a thin 

 bloom ; flesh firm, juicy ,^ and melting, rich, sugary, and vinous. 

 Leaves very deeply-lobed, open at the base, rather sharply and 

 deeply serrated, pubescent beneath, slightly so above. A useful 

 late Grape and hangs well, but in this instance has apparently 

 not had sufficient heat. 



Panae Janne:— from M. Van Houtte, of Ghent. A fine 

 large oval or somewhat ovate berry, of a rich pale yellow colour, 

 like a well ripened Muscat of Alexandria; flesh rather firm, 

 sweet but not rich. Leaves deeply lobed, and sharply serrated. 



Gros Rouge de Provence :— from Dr. Neill. Bunch lona, 

 tapering, loose ; berries small, slightly oval, black ; skin thin"; 

 flesh juicy, vinous, with a Frontignan flavour. Leaves convex, 

 deeply lobed, slightly pubescent. This variety possesses little 

 merit, having the bad property of setting badly. " 



Muscat Noir de Jura:— from Messrs. Baumann of BolwiUer. 

 Bunch long and tapering, slightly shouldered, larger than that of 



Black Frontiqnan 



grow 



; Prince, slightly oval.
