but darker red next the sun ; sweet, but not very juicy ; 

 they have generally but two seeds. This vine was intro- 

 duced from Bombay by Sir Joseph Banks, in 1817. The 

 grape keeps a long time, and is extensively cultivated at 

 Poonah, and the ripe fruit sent thence annually to Bombay 

 and its dependencies. This grape eminently deserves trial.

 loose bunches ; the berries very large, interspersed with a

 rather thick, of a dusky reddish purple, covered with 

 bloom ; the flesh is rather firm, extremely rich, though some- 

 what acid ; the seeds are large, seldom more than one.

 The bunches are generally small, but very numerous ; 

 but they are sometimes considerably large, loosely-formed, 

 and shouldered ; the berries are round, medium-sized, of 

 an amber color ; the flesh is firm, saccharine, rich, but not 

 high-flavored ; very productive ; and, for the certainty of 

 its ripening, it is considered one of the best European va- 

 rieties for a northern climate.
