SPECIAL SELECTIONS OP GRAPES : LARGE BUNCHES. 



VIII. GRAPHS FOR EARLY FORCING. 



1 . Black Hamburgh 



2. Madresfield Court 



3. Duke of Buccleuch 



Royal Muscadine 

 Foster's Seedling 

 Ascot Citronelle. 



No Grape forces more easily, or is more generally useful than No. 1, which can 

 always be relied upon ; No. 2 is now recognised as a good early variety ; No. 3 

 is large and handsome, and ripens before the Black Hamburgh ; Nos. 4, 5, and 

 6 are all excellent as early sorts. 



IX. GRAPES OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. 



Muscat of Alexandria 

 Chasselas Musque 

 Grizzly Frontignan 

 Duchess of Buccleuch 



5. Ferdinand de Lesseps 



6. Muscat Champion 



7. Duke of Buccleuch. 



Amongst these No. 1 is decidedly first, being the best and handsomest of all 

 Grapes ; No. 2 is very luscious, but its habit of cracking spoils it ; No. 3 is rich 

 but not attractive ; No. 4 is exceedingly rich ; No. 5 has a peculiarly pleasant 

 richness ; No. 6 is large and luscious ; No. 7 is very large and most^refreshing 

 in quality.
