GRAPES. 409 



flesh, of a jet black colour, and covered with thin bloom. Flesh, very 

 melting, abundantly juicy, very rich, sugary, and vinous. 



A very excellent grape, ripening with Black Hamburgh, but keeping 

 plump long after the Black Hamburgh shrivels. The vine is a free 

 grower and a good bearer. 



TROVEREN FRONTIGNAN (Troveren; Muscat Troveren). 



Bunches, large and well set, with very large round berries. Skin, 

 greenish white at first, changing as it ripens to pale amber. Flesh, 

 firm and crackling, juicy, sweet, rich, and with a mild Frontignan 

 flavour. 



This is a beautiful grape, and appears to be an exaggerated form of 

 White Frontignan. It requires a hot vinery.
