a feuille bordee|.—A fine, compact-growing, bushy variety. Bunches 
of a medium size. Berries medium, of a pale red colour. A most 
abundant bearer. Shoots dark, spreading. Leaves dark green, 
with a glaucous hue, and the greater portion, more especially those 
in the shade, having a narrow silver lacing or border, giving the 
plants a slight variegated appearance. A very excellent good-habited 
variety. 
10. Cup-LEAVED [syns., Fewille laciniee, Hyatt Nova}.—Plant 
of somewhat slender spreading growth. Bunches of medium size.

leaved form of the common Red. A poor cropper. The leaves are 
prettily variegated on their appearance in spring, but soon become 
dull and dingy.

common Red. Berries small, pale in colour, with one or two darker 
stripes. Rather pretty. A very poor cropper. The Gloire des 
Sabons is stated to be a white variety, prettily striped with red. At 
Chiswick it proved the same as Gondouin. 
13. Cuampaane [syn., Couleur de Chair. ]—This is remarkable on 
account of the colour of the berries, which are pale flesh, and their 
sweet flavour being exactly similar to the White varieties. Bunches 
short. Berries small. The plant is of dwarf bushy habit, and 
robust. Leaves broad flat, having the appearance of the Red Dutch.
