i'j8 THE GRAPE. 



Bu7 Sur Aube.) — Bundles tapering, well-sliouldered, me- 

 dium size ; berries round, medium size, amber-wbite ; 

 flavor SAveet and full. One of tbe most reliable and 

 early of wliite grapes, and the very best quality. 



Malvasia. (syn. Grove-end Sweet Water — Eirly 

 White Malvoise.) — Bunches rather below medium size, 

 small shoulders, tapering ; berries greenish-amber, below 

 medium size, roundish oval, transparent, very sweet ; a 

 good early kind. 



Golden Chasselas. — Bunches long and tapering; ber- 

 ries medium size, round, yellowish-amber color; sweet 

 and sprightly. With fire heat this is a good grape, but in 

 the Cold Grapery it is often a bad setter, and is at all 

 times somewhat uncertain. 



lloYAL Muscadine. — This grape is often considered to 

 be the same as Chasselas Fontainebleau, although quite dis- 

 tinct. The bunch of this variety is much larger, and the 

 color more inclining to yellow. It is seldom seen true ; 

 the last named being often substituted for it. 



Chasselas MusauE.(syn. Muscat B'anc Hatif—Joslyns 

 St. Albans.) — Bunches medium size, tapering ; berries 

 round, flattened on the end ; amber-white, musky, rich, 

 and very sweet; a free bearer, and one of the finest 

 grapes in cultivation ; it is, however, very liable to crack, 

 if not well ventilated, and more than usually subject to 

 shrivel. 



White Gascoine. — Bunches rather large, well-should- 

 ered, tapering ; berries oval ; white, flavor good. Subject 

 to crack sometimes in a damp house. A good sort. 



Verdelho. (syn. Madeira Wine Grape.) — Bunches ra- 

 ther small, loose ; berries medium size, oval, yellowish- 

 green, sweet, and pleasant ; a good variety and vigorous 

 grower, but not a very free bearer. 



White Tokay, (syn. True Tokay — Tokai Blovc.) —
