seeds. I take this to be the kind mentioned by some authors 

 as a seedless variety of the chasselas.

BLACK MUSCADINE. PR. CAT. No. 8. 



This has berries of medium size, which are round, of a 

 black colour and beautifully powdered with a purplish bloom; 

 it bears well, ripens in September, and makes a fine appear- 

 ance ; the flesh is not as delicate and juicy as the white mus^ 

 cadine. 



BLACK DAMASCUS. PR. CAT. No. 21. 



Worksop Manor grape. 



This grape, although late at maturity, is deemed an excel- 

 lent and valuable variety ; the berries are round, large and 

 black ; the skin thin and the flesh delicate, rich, juicy, and of 

 very fine flavour. On the same cluster are contained berries 

 of different sizes, the large ones containing but one seed, and 

 the small ones generally none. 



PITMASTON WHITE CLUSTER. PR. CAT. No. 33. 



This is a fine table variety recently brought into notice in 

 the English collections. It originated from seed at Pitmaston. 

 near London, and is there held in much esteem. 



BLACK LISBON. 



Black Portugal. 



This I consider synonymous with the black hamburgh, to 

 which the English authors state it bears a great resemblance. 

 The fruit is stated by them to be large, of globular form, 

 with a thin skin, black and juicy, and the bunches shouldered. 

 I presume the black Portugal of some authors refers to the 

 same grape. As I have vines growing, I shall be able to test 

 all these points.
