Muscat Blanc. Soe White Frontignan. 



MUSCAT CHAMPION (Champion Hamburgh Muscat). Bunches, 

 very large, resembling those of the Mill Hill Hamburgh ; well shouldered. 

 Berries, large, roundish, and inclining to oblate, generally much 

 hammered. Skin, grizzly, inclining to black, and covered with a 

 delicate bloom. Flesh, tender, juicy, and rich, with a distinct Fron- 

 tignan flavour. 



This is a splendid grape, and one of the best in cultivation. The 

 bunches and berries are as large as those of Mill Hill Hamburgh, and 

 the flavour is the same as of that variety, with the fine aroma of the 

 Frontignans superadded. It succeeds with the same treatment as the 

 Black Hamburgh ; and ripens well in a house without artificial heat. 



It was raised by Mr. William Melville, gardener to the Earl of Rosebery, at 

 Dalmeny Park, near Edinburgh, by fertilising Mill Hill Hamburgh with Canon Hall 

 Muscat, and it possesses the merits of both parents.

MUSCAT ST. LAURENT. Bunches, similar to those of Royal

 becoming pale amber when thoroughly ripened. Flesh, very tender, 

 melting, and juicy, with a refreshing, juicy, and a distinct Muscat 

 aroma. 



This variety, introduced by Mr. Risers, that gentleman says, is very 

 early, and will ripen on a wall with the Svveetwater. It is well adapted 

 for pot culture in the orchard-house and in cool vineries.
