THE black, red, white, and brown 

 Frontiniacs are all very fit for a hot-houfe, 

 having full as high a flavour as when on 

 an open wall with fire ; the pores of .the 

 berries are much clofer, and do not admit 

 of lo much of the fleam when the houfe 

 is fhut up at night as moll: of the other 

 forts of grapes ; they never ripen equally 

 without glafs, and I have had them in 

 greater perfection in Pine^ftoves than I 

 could ever bring them to on fire-walls 

 amongft other Vines. They all grow very 

 clofe in the charter, fo mould be thinned, 

 as before directed, when very young, which 

 adds to their fragrancy, as then the fun 

 gets to all parts of the berries. The red 

 Frontiniac is the highefl flavoured, and 

 the moft efteemed of any known in Eng- 

 land. 



THE Tokay is an exceeding good grape 

 for the hot-houfe : it is the only proper 

 place for it, as it is fo long in ripening 

 after the other forts, that it would caufe 

 the fire and glafles to be kept on at leaft a 



mouth
