160 CATALOGUE OF GRAPES, &C. 



12. White Sweetwater. Bunches middle-sized. 

 Berries large, ronnd, and grow close upon the bunches. 

 Skin thin, and when exposed to the sun, and fully ripe, 

 pretty thickly set with spots of a light russet colour. 

 Pulp very juicy and luscious. 



This is a delicious grape, but owing to its tenderness 

 when in blossom the berries set very unevenly on the 

 bunches. 



If it be desired to have a very early sort, to the pre- 

 ceding may be added, the Early Black July, which, 

 though the bunches and berries are small, and the lat- 

 ter, in general, unevenly set, is a very sweet, and also 

 a well-flavoured grape. 



It would be easy to increase this catalogue numeri- 

 cally, if it were necessary, but such a course, if adopt- 

 ed, would only bewilder the cultivator, and render it 

 a difficult matter for him to choose those sorts which 

 experience has proved are most appropriately adapted 

 for culture on open walls. The sorts here enumerated 

 embrace almost every variation in flavour, colour, and 

 size of berry that can be perfectly ripened in the open 

 air.
