244 THE GRAPE. 



The CANNON-HALL MUSCAT, an English seedling, closely re. 

 sembles this grape, but the flesh is firmer, the skin yellower, and 

 it is not quite so rich in flavour. It also sets rather badly, re- 

 quiring to be fertilized by hand with the pollen of some other sort.

White Frontniac. Moscado Bianco.

Muscat Blanc. Muscateller. 



Raisin de Frontignan. Wiesser Muscateller. 



Muscat Blanc de Jura. Weisse Muscaten Traube. 



The White Frontignan is a very favourite grape, as the 

 many names, quoted above, by which it is known in various 

 parts of Europe sufficiently prove. Its hardy habit, uniform 

 productiveness in the vinery, and most luscious flavour, make 

 it every where esteemed. 



Bunches of medium size, or pretty long, and without shoul- 

 ders. Berries middle sized, round, rather thickly set. Skin 

 thin, dull white or yellow, covered with a thin bloom. Flesh 

 tender, with a rich, perfumed, musky flavour.

 Chasselas Precoce. 

 Chasselas Royal. 

 Water Zoete Blanc. 



This grape is better known, and more commonly cultivated 

 than any other in this country, although it is inferior to the 

 Royal Muscadine. It differs from the latter in having weaker 

 wood, and open, loose, bunches of a paler colour. 



Bunches middle sized, loose or open, usually with many 

 small imperfect berries, shouldered. Berries of the middle size, 

 round. Skin thin, clear watery green, rarely becoming amber 

 except very fully exposed to the sun. Flesh crisp, watery, 

 sweet, but not high flavoured. Ripens in the open air from the 

 20th to the last of August a fortnight earlier than the Royal 

 Muscadine.
