128 THE CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 



H Blaeh Frontignan. — This is a fine early grape, of ]\Ius- 

 cat flavor ; the bunch is long, the berry is round and black, 

 and of medium size. Mr. Thompson gives thirteen synonymes 

 of it. 



Blue Frontignan. — This is a good grape, of a slightly 

 Muscat flavor ; the berries are roundish, and not so large as 

 the Grizzly, or White Frontignan. The Violet Frontignan 

 and Black Constantia are synonymes of this. 



H G-rizzly Frontignan. — The bunches are of a good size ; 

 the berries are round and colored, as the name designates ; it 

 ripens early, and is one of the richest Muscat-flavored grapes. 

 According to Mr. Thompson, there are thirteen synonymes to 

 this. 



IF White Frontignan. — This variety has bunches often quite 

 large ; the berries are round, and, when fully ripened in an 

 exposure to the sun, are of an amber color. The Black, 

 AVhite, and the Grizzly, are, in flavor, very much alike, when 

 grown under the most favorable circumstances, so far as re- 

 spects quahty ; but, for a variety in color, it is desirable to 

 have the three ; the Grizzly is the earliest of them. The 

 synonymes are twenty-two in number. 



Gros Rouge de Provence. — The bunches are loose ; the 

 berries roundish and black, and of second quality. 



Fetersburgh. — A black grape, with loose bunches ; the 

 berries are round, the skin thick, and the flavor sweet.
