White Nice. 



A very large and showy friiit, and, in a vinery with fire-heat, a very 

 excellent sort. M'Intosh, an English gardener of reputation, has grown 

 bunches of this the White Nice to the enormous weight of eighteen 

 pounds, and considei's it " one of the noblest of grapes." 



Bunches very large, with loose shoulders. Berries roundish, medium 

 size, thinly distributed over the shoulders and sides of the bunch. Skin 

 thin, rather tough, greenish white, becoming, finally, a little yellowish. 

 Flesh crisp, sweet, and of very good flavoi'. Leaves and wood very 

 strong, the latter remarkably downy beneath.
