 delais, vulgdrly called Burlake. The 

 Berries of this Kind are very large, 

 of an oval Shape, and grov/ pretty 

 clofe on the Bunches, which are 

 Sometimes ot a prodigious Size. 

 I have feen a Bunch o\ thele Grapes 

 vvhich has weighed five Pounds. 

 But they never ripen in this 

 Country^ £o that they are fit for 

 nothing, except Verj^cCi or to make 

 Tarts.

The Mufcat, or White Frontiniac. 

 The Berries of this Kind are large, 

 and grow extremely clofe upon the 

 Bunches, which are very long, and 

 have commonly two Shoulders to 

 them : The Fruit, when ripe, has 

 a rich, musky Flavour; but it is 

 commonly very late in the Autumn 

 before they ripen, and the Berries 

 being {^o very clofe upon the 

 Bunches, do detain the Moidurc in 

 their Middles, lb that they com- 

 monly perifh : To prevent which, 

 ibme very curious Perlbns look 

 over their Vines, ibon after the 

 Grapes are formed, and with a Pair 

 of Sciffers cut out all the fmall ones, 

 fo as to leave the others at a mode- 

 rate Diftance, whereby the Sun and 

 Air is eafily admitted, which dil- 

 fipates the Moifture, and prevents 

 their perifhing. This Sort is a 

 iircat Bearer. 



I 2. ViTis ; acinis rubris, ntgri-

 Mufcat Rouge, or Red Frontiniac. 

 The Berries of this Kind are of the 

 Size of the fornier, but grow much 

 thinner on the Bunches ■■, it is higher 

 flavour'd, andv/hen thorough ripe, 

 is the richeft Grape yet known. 

 But this muft have a very dry Soil, 

 and a South-Eafl Afpedl, otheiv/ife 

 it feldom ripens well in England.

 The Berries of this Kind are left 

 than the two former, but are not 

 fo high flavour'd i their Juice is 

 fweet, and they are earlier ripe. 

 This is a good Bearer, but the 

 Grapes upon the fame Bunch do 

 feldom ripen at the fame Time, fb 

 that they can't be gather'd in full 

 Bunches, but muft be pick'd off 

 lingly as they ripen.

 are large and white, the Skins are 

 very thin, and the Juice is fweet j 

 this is very early ripe, but the Ber- 

 ries are apt to be thin upon the 

 Bunches J for it is one of the ten- 

 dereft Sorts, when in Flower, that 

 I have yet feen ; fo that if there 

 happens bad V/eather at that Seafon, 

 they are very fubjeft to blight, and 

 being fo uncertain in bearmg, has
