Auverna. Miller, No. 6. 



Pineau. Ih. 



Le Bourguignon. Bradley, No. 24. 



Small Black Cluster. Speechly, No. 34. 



True Burgundy. Martyn^s Miller, No. 7. 



Bunches small, but rather larger than those of the Miller's 

 Burgundy. Berries middle-sized, somewhat oval. Skin 

 of a very black colour. Juice very sweet. 



It is hardy, and ripens well on a south wall. 



This is the true Burgundy Grape, and is readily distin- 

 guished from the other, in not having its downy appearance; 

 it has also larger berries, and they are not so closely set 

 upon the bunches. It might be successfully cultivated in 

 this country for wine. In Burgundy it is highly esteemed 

 for this purpose.
