This is highly esteemed ; is distinguished from White Sweet Water 

 (often sold as this variety) by its larger berries and stronger growth. Grown 

 out of doors, it requires not only Winter protection, but also to be well 

 supplied with wood ashes, as otherwise it cracks and mildews. 



Allen says, the Royal Muscadine and Chasselas of Fontainebleau are 

 distinct, but only in size of bunch. The Early White Muscadine, he also 

 says, only varies from this in ripening a few days earlier. 



Bunches, large, long, shouldered ; berries, above medium, round, greenish 

 white, becoming amber color when fully ripe, tender, rich delicious flavor 

 Middle to last of September.

Adapted only to house culture, and, even then, benefitted by artificial

 thick skin, firm flesh, crisp, musky, rich perfumed flavor, often seedless. A 

 strong grower. 



The Cannon Hall Muscat, is esteemed a sub-variety not equaling its 

 parent. 



TRAMINER. 



Hardy in the open air, being free from mildew or rot, a productive bearei, 

 and never failing to perfectly ripen both fruit and wood. Allen says of it, 

 " a much-esteemed wine Grape on the river Maine." It is described in 

 the London Horticultural Society's Catalogue. It deserves a place in every 

 garden. 



Bunches, medium size, compact ; ferries, roundish oval, middle size, uni- 

 form, pale reddish, tender, juicy, sweet, without pulp, rich and pleasant 

 flavor. Ripens ten days before Isabella.
