were so large that two men were required to cany them. Bunches, 

 rery large, conical, and broad shouldered. Berries thick skinned, 

 tawny-yellow, large, and oval. Flesh firm, crackling, moderately 

 juicy, and highly flavoured. Ripens late, hangs well, and bears 

 abundantly. Would probably prove a good raisin Grape in the 

 warm districts. Bunches aie commonly from six to ten pounds in 

 weight, and have in England been grown over twenty pounds, the 

 bunch measuring over twenty- one inches in length, with shoulders 

 nineteen and a-half inches across. 



Terret. Several sub- varieties pass under this name that differ 

 only in the colour of the fruit, which is respectively black, white, 

 and red. Bunches large and conical. Berries large, oblong. Flesh 

 juicy and well flavoured. All the kinds make a good light wine. 



Thompson's Heedless. A Grape is cultivated under this name in 

 America to some extent, but there appears to be some doubt as to 

 whether it is a distinct variety or merely a form of the White Corinth 

 (Sultana). It is said to have been introduced to America from Turkey, 

 and is described as being very similar to the Sultana, but to have 

 longer bunches, and to be somewhat sweeter. This Grape is also 

 said to make a raisin equal in quality to the Sultana, and to be very 

 prolific. 



Tinto (Tinturier). A hardy wine variety, and one of the few Grapes 

 that yield a red juice. Bunches small and compact. Berries red, 

 small, and round. Flesh very juicy and low flavoured. Ripens after 

 mid-season, a moderately good bearer, and does fairly well in the 

 cooler regions. Makes a wine of rather low quality. 



Tr ft miner (Froinente, House-let). An excellent German wine variety. 

 Bunch medium size, conical. Berries medium sized, ovoid, light red. 

 Flesh juicy and slightly acid. Hardy and prolific. Makes a good 

 wine of the Hock class. 



Trebbiano (Erbuhis, Maccabeo, Trebbiano Bianco, Trebbiano Vero, 

 Ugiri Blanc). An excellent late Italian table Grape. Bunches very 

 large, broad shouldered, and well set. Berries yellowish-green, thick 

 skinned, medium sized, and oval to round. Flesh firm, crackling, 

 sweet, and richly flavoured. Ripens very late, hangs well, and an 

 excellent bearer. Might prove a serviceable raisin Grape in the 

 warmer districts. 



Irentham Elxck. An excellent table Grape, lunches very large, 

 well shouldered, and tapering. Berries black, with a thin bloom, large, 

 and oval. Flesh melting, very juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. 

 Ripens at the same time as the Black Hamburgh, but will hang much 

 longer. Hardy, vigorous, and a good bearer. 



Troverei) FrnntioiHin (Trover en, Muscat Trweren). A French variety 

 somewhat similar to the White Frontignan, but with finer bunches and 

 berries. Bunches large, well set, and compact. Berries pale amber, 

 large, and round. Flesh firm, juicy, with a rich mild Muscat flavour. 

 Ripens about mid-season, and is fairly prolific. A good table Grape, and 

 makes a rich full-bodied wine. 



UUiade (Boiidnles, Oiil/de, Prunelus, Ullinde Xoir). A very good 

 and useful table variety and an excellent wine Grape. Bunches rather
