378 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



CABRAL. Bunches, medium sized, not shouldered, well set. 

 Berries, very large, roundish oval. Skin, yellowish white, tough, and 

 membranous, covered with thin white bloom. Berry-stalks very short, 

 thick, and warted, having a very large warted receptacle. Flesh, firm, 

 very juicy, rather sweet, and inclining to be rich when highly ripened, 

 but generally with a watery juice and a poor Sweetwater flavour. 



A beautiful and showy Spanish grape, requiring a high temperature 

 to have it in perfection. The leaves die off yellow. 



CAILLABA (Caillaba Noir Musque). Bunches, small, cylindrical, 

 and with a short shoulder. Berries, rather below medium size, round. 

 Skin, thin, but membranous, black. Flesh, rather firm, juicy, and 

 sweet, with a fine Muscat flavour. 



This is a good and early form of Black Frontignan, and ripens in a 

 cool vinery about the beginning or middle of September. The vine is 

 delicate, and requires high cultivation. 



It is cultivated principally in the department of the Haute Pyrenees, and it was 

 brought into notice by M. Bose, the celebrated French writer on agriculture. It 

 ripens very well in the open air about Tours, where I ate it in the vineyard of 

 Count Odart in the latter end of September, 1864. Mr. Barron gives this as a 

 synonym of Angers Frontignan, which cannot be right, as this was in existence 

 long before that variety was raised by M. Vibert. 



CALABRIAN RAISIN (Raisin de Calabre). Bunches, large, 

 slightly shouldered, long, and tapering, sometimes upwards of a foot 

 in length. Berries, large, quite round. Skin, thick, but so transpa- 

 rent that the texture of the flesh and the stones are distinctly visible ; 

 white. Flesh, moderately firm, with a sugary juice and good flavour. 



This is a late and long-hanging grape, forming an excellent white 

 companion to West's St. Peter's. It is not of first-rate quality as to 

 flavour, but is, nevertheless, a valuable grape to grow on account of its 

 late-keeping properties. The vine is a strong grower and a good 

 bearer ; succeeds in a cool vinery, and will also stand a good deal of 

 heat. The leaves die off yellow. 



CAMBRIDGE BOTANIC GARDEN. Bunches, rarely shouldered. 

 Berries, large and oval. Skin, brownish black. Flesh, firm, juicy, 

 sweet, and highly flavoured ; with from two to three seeds in each 

 berry, while in Black Prince they vary from three to five. 



An excellent out-door grape, ripening well against a wall, and well 

 adapted for a cold vinery. Mr. Rivers found it well suited for pot 

 culture. It has been said to be identical with Black Prince, with which 

 it is in many instances confounded ; but it differs from that variety in 

 having shorter and much more compact bunches. 



Campanella Bianca. See Royal Muscadine. 



CANON HALL MUSCAT. Bunches, large, long, tapering, and 

 well shouldered. Berries, large, round. Skin, greenish yellow, be- 

 coming pale yellow when well ripened. Flesh, firm, juicy, richly 

 flavoured with a powerful Muscat aroma.
