the same time as the Early Black July, from which it was raised. 

 Bunches small, shouldered, and very compact. Berries medium sized 

 thin skinned, pale green, with an amber tinge, round, sometimes flattened. 

 Flesh firm, juicy, sweet, with a rich and distinct Muscat flavour, very 

 early, and bears freely. 



Muscat of Alexandria (Alexandrian Muscat, Charlesworth Tokay, 

 Muscat Escholata, Muscat Gordo Blanco, Muscat Grec, Muscat of 

 Jerusalem, .Unseat Romainc, Tottenham Park Muscat}. A well-known^ 

 and popular table and raisin Grape, which is supposed to have originated 

 in Western Asia. Bunches large, long, shouldered, and loose. Berries 

 pale amber, thick skinned, mostly large, but often irregular in size- 

 Flesh firm, not very juicy, but very sweet and richly flavoured. Eipens 

 after mid-season, hangs well, is vigorous in habit, and bears freely in the 

 warmer districts, but not so well in the cooler regions, where the bunches 

 are more irregular. One of our best raisin Grapes, and has been planted 

 extensively during the last few years in Australia. Makes also a fairly 

 good but somewhat strong wine. Some people are under the impression 

 that Muscat Gordo Blanco is a distinct variety, but this is not the case 



Muscat Hamburgh (Black Muscat of Alexandria, Red Muscat of 

 Alexandria, Snow's ^fuscat Hamburgh). A very highly flavoured 

 English table Grape. Bunches large, shouldered, and loose. Berries 

 large, but often irregular in size, deep black, with a blue bloom, tough, 

 but not thick skinned, roundish-oval to oval. Flesh very juicy, sweet, 

 with a peculiarly rich Muscat flavour. Ripens rather late, and sets best 

 in the warmer districts. The richest flavoured of all the Muscat Grapes. 



Palomina Blanche (Listan). A good Spanish variety somewhat similar 

 in appearance to the Golden Chasselas. Bunch medium to large, and 

 cylindrical. Berries medium sized, oval, and in colour a rich amber. 

 Makes an excellent wine, and is also a useful table Grape. 



Panse Jamie (Orosse Panse, Raisin de Pause). A Spanish variety 

 largely grown in the Malaga province for making raisins. Bunch large, 

 long, and tapering. Berries thick skinned, amber, transparent, large 

 oval, with a thick bloom. Flesh firm, sweet, and well flavoured. A 

 .good raisin and table Grape, but is somewhat uncertain except in 

 medium warm districts. Somewhat similar in appearance to the Muscat 

 of A lexandria. 



Parsley-leaved Chasselas (Ciotat, Malmsey. .Muscadine, Raisin 

 d'Antriche). An excellent and prolific variety with fruit very similar 

 to the Golden Chasselas, and ripens about the same time. Foliage 

 peculiar, somewhat like the leaves of parsley, hence the name. 

 Makes a rich wine. 



Pedro Ximenes. A largely cultivated and popular Spanish wine 

 'Grape. Bunches medium sized, shouldered, long, and conical. 

 Berries medium sized, thin skinned, pale amber, and oblong. Flesh 

 juicy, sweet, and well flavoured. Ripens after mid-season, makes 

 strong* growth, and bears freely. Makes a full-bodied wine. 



Pinot. Several excellent French wine Grapes are classed under 

 the name of Pinot which, in some cases, is interchangeable with 

 Burgundy and Morrillon. See Black Cluster, Miller's Burgundy, and 

 White Burgundy.
