large and irregular indentures. The bunch is eight to ten 

 inches long, composed of oval berries of pretty large size, very 

 firm, and of a clear violet colour, which are not easily mashed, 

 whence they have derived the name they bear, which means in 

 English, pocket-grape.

The leaves are dentated and divided into three lobes, which 

 are almost formed into five by the division of the two lateral 

 lobes into smaller ones ; the berries are of quite unequal 

 sizes, but mostly not large ; they are oval, 'of a pale pearly 

 green, and full of sweet rich juice, and are borne on separate 

 very long peduncles ; the bunches are long and loose, beiag 

 formed of several shoulders and small divisions. This variety 

 is cultivated to a great extent in many vineyards, the fruit when 

 fully ripe has a slight musk flavour, and the wine made from it 

 whether white, pale, or red, is generous and excellent. It also 

 makes very rich and fragrant marmalade, 



It thrives best in a strong loam, calcareous or marly, and 

 situated on a declivity. Humidity is very injurious to it at the 

 period of flowering, and its effect is to cause blight. In cli- 

 mates too far north for it, it is much injured by spring and fall 

 frosts, and does not readily recover from their effects. Being a 

 vigorous variety, it does not require frequent renewal by pro- 

 vignage or layering, and it may be subjected to long pruning 

 without fear of exhausting the plant.
