CHILWELL ALICANTE. Bunches, large, nine inches to a foot 

 long, broad shouldered, and with very stout stalks. Berry-stalks, long, 

 slender, and slightly warted. Berries, large, an inch or more in length, 

 oblong or oval. Skin, thick and membranous, quite black, covered 

 with thin bloom. Flesh, tender and very juicy, sweet, and richly 

 flavoured. Seeds, rarely more than two, and generally only one. 



A very excellent grape, superior to the Alicante, from which it was 

 raised, and with long oval berries like Morocco. 



A seedling raised from Alicante by Mr. Pearson, of Chilwell, near Nottingham, 

 and which tirst fruited in 1871. 



CIOTAT (Malmsey Muscadine; Parsley-leaved ; Raisin d'Autriche 

 Petersilien Gutedel). Bunches, medium sized, not quite so large as 

 those of Eoyal Muscadine, shouldered and loose. Berries, medium 

 sized, round, uneven, with short, thin stalks. Skin, thin, greenish 

 yellow or white, covered with bloom. Flesh, tender, sweet, and with 

 the flavour of Royal Muscadine, of which this variety is a mere form, 

 differing in having the leaves very much cut. It ripens in a cool 

 vinery. 



CITRON FRONTIGNAN (Muscat Citronelle). Bunches, small and 

 cylindrical. Berries, medium sized, quite round. Skin, tender, white, 

 covered with a thin bloom. Flesh, firm and crackling, very juicy, with 

 a fine brisk citron flavour, and a distinct Frontignan aroma. 



A very excellent little grape, well adapted for pot culture. It ripens 

 freely in an ordinary vinery.
