 Chasselas royal. 

 Chasselas rouge royal. 



This is held in esteem as a table grepe. The berries are 

 round, of a dark red or purplish hue, and of pleasant flavour. 

 The whole aspect of the plant is peculiar on account of the 

 redness of the foliage, and the tints of the same colour which

 variegated chasselas, or chasselas panache, will be found under 

 the title of Aleppo grape.

 larity in foliage makes it easily distinguishable from every
