46 Thirty-two Vai'ieties of the Grape. 



medium size, rarely, but sometimes shouldered ; ripens about 

 ten days after the Hamburgh, and requires a dry situation ; in 

 a wet soil it will shrivel or shank and will not be worth cul- 

 tivation. Berries large and round, and when well ripened, 

 of a beautiful amber color ; does not hang so well as many 

 kinds. Suitable for forcing cold or late house. 



Grizzly Frontignan. — Another fine Muscat grape ; bunch 

 not very large, slightly shouldered ; color reddish gray, with 

 a thick bloom ; ripens before the Black Hamburgh and other 

 Frontignans ; hangs well. Suitable for forcing cold or late 

 house. 



Black Frontignan — Same flavor as the other Muscats: 

 bunch long; berries black and round; requires the same 

 situation as the Avhite. Suitable for all houses. 



Tottenham Park Muscat. — A seedling from the Muscat of 

 Alexandria, which it resembles. Bunch large and shouldered ; 

 berries oval, amber colored; flavor, muscat, but the two 

 years 1 have grown it, it has not been so rich as its parent ; 

 sets well^ and hangs well. Suitable for forcing and late 

 house. 



Charlsworth Tokay. — A very fine grape of muscat flavor ; 

 hangs long. Suitable for forcing or late house. 



White Muscat of Alexandria. — Bunch very large, and 

 shouldered ; does not set well ; one of the richest muscat 

 grapes ; berries large, oval, and of an amber color ; hangs 

 long. Suitable for forcing and late house. 



Chasselas de Bar Sur Aube. — A very fine white grape ; 

 bunch large and long, often ten to twelve inches, usually 

 without shoulders ; very like the White Chasselas in flavor, 

 but to be preferred for planting ; a great bearer and sets well ; 

 berries medium size, round, and when fully ripe amber color ; 

 ripens before the common Chasselas. Suitable for forcing or 

 a cold house. 



Muscadine or Early White. — Closely resembles the Bar 

 Sur Aube, but, with me, ripens ten to fifteen days earlier. 

 Good for forcing. 



Golden Chasselas. — A fine grape; bunch long, sometimes 

 shouldered; berries, large, round, and of a golden color; some 

 seasons cracking badly ; does not hang well for this reason. 

 Suitable for forcing and cold house.
