Ansley's large oval Hack.

The leaf of this vine is large, deeply serrated, bordered 

 with large and acute teeth supported by a large and long pe- 

 tiole. The bunch is of great size, composed of large berries 

 somewhat oval, and rather more swollen at the summit than at 

 the base. The skin is hard and thick, of a deep violet with a 

 fine bloom ; the pulp is of a bluish white, full of agreeable 

 and high-flavoured juice when the fruit is perfectly ripe ; each 

 berry contains two large seeds. 



I find I have two varieties, the one received from France 

 being a long oval, whereas the one obtained from England 

 partakes very little of that form. This grape seldom ripens 

 perfectly in the latitude of Paris, and is not eaten in perfection 

 except in the south of that country ; it can, therefore, scarcely 

 be expected to succeed regularly in this vicinity by open cul- 

 ture, but it ripened with me the present year about the 1st of 

 October.
