as he represented, but was brought from the south of Europe- by his master, Mr. 

 Crawley ; and it eventually turned out that this reputed seedling was none other 

 than Luglienga Bianca, an Italian grape, which was growing in the Horticultural 

 Society's Garden. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. Bunches, nine inches long, with a stont 

 stalk, long, tapering, and well shouldered, like Muscat of Alexandria. 

 Berry-stalks, rather long, but stout and warted. Berries, upwards of 

 an inch, and sometimes an inch and a quarter long; oblong or oval. 

 Skin, membranous, of a clear amber colour. Flesh, firm and crackling, 

 very juicy, and richly flavoured. 



This is a fine grape, and the constitution of the vine is very good. 

 It requires a high temperature to ripen it properly. 



It was raised by Mr. John Pearson, of Chilwell, Nottingham, from Alicante, 

 crossed by Ferdinand de Lesseps, and was awarded a first-class certificate by the 

 Royal Horticultural Society in 1873.

GROMIER DU CANTAL (Barbaroux ; De Candolle ; Grec Rouge; 

 Gros Gromier du Cantal ; Malaga ; Raisin du Pauvre ; Raisin de 

 Servie). Bunches, large, a foot long, broad, and shouldered. Berries, 

 large and round. Skin, very thin, amber-coloured, mottled with light 

 purplish brown. Flesh, tender, juicy, and sweet, with a brisk vinous 

 flavour. 



Requires a warm vinery to ripen it, and it does not keep long after 

 being ripe. In some of the vineyards of France, and particularly in 

 those of Tarn-et- Garonne, it is called Alicante.

GROS GUILLAUME (Pennington Hall Hamburgh ; Seacliffe 

 Black}. Bunches, twelve to eighteen inches long, shouldered, 

 tapering, and compact. Berries, round, inclining to oval. Skin, 

 tough, but not thick, of a deep black colour, covered with thin bloom. 

 Flesh, tender, juicy, and of good flavour, though not rich. 



This is a valuable large grape, hanging all the winter, and keeping 

 well till the middle of March, when it is particularly rich, and has a 

 fine sprightly flavour. It is only after hanging that it acquires its best 

 condition. The vine is a bad bearer, except in poor soils, and it
