27. Red Chasselas. This is similar to the white in size 

 and shape, but is of a red colour next the sun ; it is con- 

 sidered a good grape, and ripens rather later than the white. 



35. Golden C/iasselas.~A round fruit, of amber colour, 

 melting, sweet, and of excellent flavour; the skin rather 

 thick, and the bunches are of good size ; leaves pretty deeply 

 indented, and on a long petiole ; ripens in September. 



Musk Chasstlas. Rather smaller than the above, and 

 ripens later ; a white round berry, sweet, and of a musky 

 flavour. 



40. Civulat, or Parsley Leaved. This is a variety of the 

 Chasselas, with finely cut or divided leaves ; fruit of fine 

 quality, delicate and juicy ; the berries and bunches size of 

 the White Muscadine ; ripens early in September. There 

 are two varieties, the red and the white. 



13. White FrontignaC) or Muscat tllanc. The berries 

 are of good size, somewhat oval, and of an amber colour 

 next the sun ; the bunches are long, and terminating to a 

 point, and the berries pretty closely set ; the juice luscious 

 and musky, and of exquisite flavour ; perhaps no grape is 

 superior to this as a table fruit. It has been remarked, that 

 this grape does not come to maturity in the north of France, 

 except in situations particularly favourable ; at Long-Island 

 it ripens in September. 



16. Red Frontignac, or Muscat Rouge. This grape 

 ripens earlier than the preceding, its berries being less 

 closely set on the bunch ;. it is also less highly flavoured. 

 The fruit is of a lively red colour, and round ; the bunch is 

 oblong, and the peduncle which supports it is remarkable 

 for its size ; ripe in September. 



15. Black FrontignaC) or Muscat JVoir. This has very 

 large round fruit, covered with a meally bloom, and of a 

 very fine flavour. It is. called, at the Cape of Good Hope, 

 the Black Constantia ; ripens in September. 



17. Violet Frontignac, or Muscat Violet. The leaves are 

 similar to the white variety; the berries are large, oblong, 

 of a violet colour, and high musk flavour ; they are powdered 

 with a fine bloom, and are very delicious. I consider it one 

 of the best table grapes ; ripens in September. 



14. Grizzly Fronlignac, or Muscat Gris. The berries 

 are round, tolerably large, colour brown, red, and yeilow in- 

 termixed, and they have a high musky perfumed flavour; 

 ripens in September. 



18. IV liite Muscat of dtexandria, Malaga, or Alexan-
