108 THE GRAPE. 



Bur Sur Aube) Bunches tapering, well-shouldered, me- 

 dium size ; berries round, medium size, amber-white ; 

 flavor sweet and full. One of the most reliable and 

 early of white grapes, and the very best quality. 



MALVASIA. (syn. Grove-end Sweet Water Early 

 V/hite Malvoise) Bunches rather below medium size, 

 small shoulders, tapering ; berries greenish-amber, below 

 medium size, roundish oval, transparent, very sweet ; a 

 good early kind. 



GOLDEN CHASSELAS. Bunches long and tapering ; ber- 

 ries medium size, round, yellowish-amber color ; sweet 

 and sprightly. With fire heat this is a good grape, but in 

 the Cold Grapery it is often a bad setter, and is at all 

 times somewhat uncertain. 



ROYAL MUSCADINE. This grape is often considered to 

 be the same as Chasselas Fontainebleau, although quite dis- 

 tinct. The bunch of this variety is much larger, and the 

 color more inclining to yellow. It is seldom seen true ; 

 the last named being often substituted for it. 



CHASSELAS MUSQJJE. (syn. Muscat Blanc Hatif- Joslyns 

 St. Albans.) Bunches medium size, tapering ; berries 

 round, flattened on the end ; amber-white, musky, rich, 

 and very sweet; a free bearer, and one of the finest 

 grapes in cultivation ; it is, however, very liable to crack, 

 if not well ventilated, and more than usually subject to 

 shrivel. 



WHITE GASCOINE. Bunches rather large, well-should- 

 ered, tapering ; berries oval ; white, flavor good. Subject 

 to crack sometimes in a damp house. A good sort. 



VERDELHO. (syn. Madeira Wine Grape.) Bunches ra- 

 ther small, loose ; berries medium size, oval, yellowish- 

 green, sweet, and pleasant ; a good variety and vigorous 

 grower, but not a very free bearer. 



WHITE TOKAY, (syn. True Tokay Tokai Blanc.)
