GRAPES. 405 



have arisen from the various forms it frequently assumes, and which 

 are occasioned entirely by the nature of the soil and the different 

 modes of treatment to which it is subjected. There is no real 

 difference between this, the Common Chasselas, and Chasselas de 

 Fontainbleau. The White Muscadine of some authors is the Early 

 Chasselas. 



KOYAL VINEYARD. Bunches, large ; sometimes long and taper- 

 ing, and sometimes short ovate. Berries, large and roundish ovate. 

 Skin, white, and somewhat transparent, showing the texture of the 

 flesh through it, remarkably thin, and adhering closely to the flesh. 

 Flesh, firm and crackling, with an agreeable Sweetwater flavour, and 

 with sometimes the faintest trace of Muscat, as Lady Downe's occa- 

 sionally has. 



A late-hanging grape, which requires the heat of a Muscat house. 

 Unless it is assisted in fertilising, as the Morocco and some others 

 require to be, the bunches do not set well.

ST. JOHN'S (Eaisin de St. Jean; Joannec; Joannenc Blanche; 

 Lashmars Seedling ; Macready's Early White). Bunches, about five 

 inches long, with a very long stalk, loose, and with many undeveloped 

 berries. Berries, medium sized, roundish oval. Skin, thin and green. 

 Flesh, very thin and watery, and, though without much flavour, is 

 agreeable and refreshing. 



It ripens against a wall in the open air, and is well adapted for this 

 mode of cultivation.

SALAMON'S FRONTIGNAN (Golden Frontignan; Chasselas 

 Musque de Nantes; Chasselas Musque de Portugal ; Chasselas Musque de 

 iSillery ; Muscat llegnier; Muscat tialamon). Bunches, from eight to 

 nine inches long, tapering, very symmetrical, and not shouldered. 

 Berries, medium sized, round, and regular in size. Skin, yellowish 

 green, becoming quite amber-coloured when fully ripe. Flesh, firm and 

 crackling, very rich, and with a fine sprightly Muscat flavour. 



This is an improved form of White Frontignan, and ripens a fort- 

 night later than Early Smyrna Frontignan. It is much superior to 

 Chasselas Musque, and does not crack its berries as that variety does. 



SARBELLE FRONTIGNAN (Muscat de Sarbelle). Bunch, below 

 medium size, about six inches long, loose, and generally with a short 

 shoulder. Berries, small, round, and irregular in size, caused by a
