GRAPES. CLASS IV. 255 



35. WHITE CORINTH. 



CORIKTHE BLANC. Duh. and Bon Jard. 



The bunches are small, oblong, compact; the berries 

 very small, round, yellow, juicy, sweet, and without seeds. 

 The Violet Corinthe differs from this only in color, and 

 is probably identical with the Black Corinth, Zajite, or 

 Black Ascalon, known in commerce as the Zante cur- 

 rants, which we receive from the Mediterranean in a dried 

 state. It has been estimated that 6000 tons are annually 

 shipped from the Ionian Islands. 



36. MALMSEY MUSCADINE. For. Lindlcy. 



MAI.VOISEE MUSQUE of Bradley. 



It resembles the White Muscadine, but the bunches and 

 berries are smaller. It is very sweet, and of high flavor ; 

 it bears well, and is a valuable grape. It requires a vinery 

 in England so say Forsyth and Lindley. Bradley says 

 it is one of the richest musked grapes ; that it came from 

 Montserrat, and grows plentifully about Turin. 



37. PITMASTON WHITE CLUSTER. Hort. 

 Trans. 



Raised by John Williams, Esq., of Pitmaston, from the 

 seed of the Auvernat, or Miller's Burgundy. The bunches 

 are rather larger than the Auvernat, compactly-formed. It 

 ripens earlier than that variety or the Sweetwater. The 

 berries are round, a little flattened at the apex, of an am- 

 ber color, but bronzed with russet next the sun ; the flesh 

 is tender and pleasant. 



38. SCOTCH WHITE CLUSTER. Thorn. Rivers. 

 The bunches are compact ; berries roundish oval ; of a 



white color ; of a sweet and excellent flavor. This grape 

 is very early and very productive. 



39. *SWEETWATER, NEW GROVE END. Thorn. 

 Rivers. 



A superior variety; the bunches long; berries oval, of 

 a white color : skin thin ; the juice sweet and excellent. 

 Early and very productive. At Mr. Wilmot's celebrated 

 fruit establishment, a superior and favorite variety is cul- 

 tivated under the name of New Sweetwater, which may 

 prove identical with this. 



40. SYRIAN. Mr. Neill 



One of the coarsest of the grape kind ; the bunches 

 large, broad-shouldered, of very regular form ; the berries 

 are large, white, oval ; the pulp firm and hard, of tolerable
