408 THE FKUIT MANUAL. 



weighing from 7 Ibs. to 10 Ibs. ; but to obtain the fruit in its greatest 

 excellence the vine requires to be grown in a hothouse, and planted in 

 very shallow, dry sandy soil. Speechly states that he grew a bunch at 

 Welbeck weighing 20 Ibs., and measuring 21| inches long and 19^ 

 inches across the shoulders. Mr. Dickson, gardener to J. Jardine, Esq., 

 of Arkleton, Langholm, N.B., grew a bunch of Syrian which weighed 



25 Ibs. 15 oz., and it was exhibited at Edinburgh 15th September, 1875. 

 It is a strong grower and an abundant bearer.

TOKAY. The Hungarian wine called Tokay is not produced from 

 any particular kind of grape, nor grown in any particular vineyard ; 

 the name is applied to all wine grown on the hills of Zernplen, of which 

 Tokay is the chief ; and the ground so cultivated extends over seven 

 or eight square leagues of surface. The name Tokay is, therefore, 

 applicable to many varieties of grapes, and it has thus been applied to 

 several varieties in this country. There are two that are known by this 

 name the Charlesworth Tokay and the White Tokay. The former 

 is identical with Muscat of Alexandria, and the latter is an entirely 

 different variety, and will be found described under the name of White 

 Tokay.

TREBBIANO (Trebbiano Bianca ; Trebbiano Vero; Erlalus ; Ugni 

 Blanc). Bunches, very large, broad shouldered, and well set. Berries, 

 medium sized, roundish oval, sometimes oval and sometimes almost 

 round. Skin, thick, tough, and membranous, somewhat adhering to 

 the flesh ; greenish white, covered with a very delicate bloom. 

 Flesh, firm and crackling, sweet, and richly flavoured when well 

 ripened. 



This is a late grape, requiring the same heat and treatment as the 

 Muscats, and will hang as late as the end of March. It requires fire 

 heat in September and October, to ripen it thoroughly before winter 

 sets in. I have seen bunches of this fourteen inches long and ten 

 inches across. 



A bunch of Trebbiano, under the name of Calabrian Raisin, and weighing 



26 Ibs. 4 oz., was grown by Mr. Curror, gardener to Mr. J. Douglas, Eskbank, 

 Dalkeith, N.B., and was exhibited in Edinburgh at a meeting of the Caledonian 

 Horticultural Society, September 15th, 1875. Trebbiano is an Italian grape grown 

 in Tuscany, and produces the celebrated wine of that name. It was first introduced 

 to public noiice by Mr. Tillery, of Welbeck. 



TRENTHAM BLACK (Long Noir d'Espagne). Bunches, large, 

 tapering, and shouldered. Berries, above medium size, oval. Skin, 

 though not thick, is tough and membranous, separating freely from the
