1 10 NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES. 



GREEK GRAPE. 



Speechly mentions this in his list of grapes, and states that 

 the berries are of moderate size, of rather an oval form, and of a 

 blueish white colour, growing close on the clusters, which are 

 of handsome shape and moderate size ; the fruit is of delicate- 

 taste and much esteemed, and the leaves grow on very short 

 foot -stalks, and resemble those of the sweetwater. 



I have some vines which I received from Europe as a variety 

 of the Tokay, that produce an early pleasant table grape, of 

 the same taste as the white muscadine, but with little flavour, 

 and which have been considered by some connoisseurs to be 

 the same as this variety. 



RAISIN DE CARMES, HOOKER POM. LOND. 

 Raisin de Cabo. 



This vine has very large berries, of an irregular oval form, 

 and of a dusky reddish purple colour, covered with bloom; 

 the skin is thick ; the pulp firm, juicy and rich, with some 

 acidity ; the bunches are long and the berries loosely set. 

 The vine grows freely and is productive. 



EARLY WHITE GRAPE OF TENERIFFE. 



The berries of this variety are of medium size and of round 

 form, the skin thin, and the pulp very juicy and sweet. It 

 has been for a long period cultivated in English collections, 

 and its berries and branches have a great resemblance and 

 affinity to the white muscadine. 



RED GRAPE OF SYRACUSE. 



This is one of the old varieties long since introduced to 

 the London collections ; the berries are very large and fine, 

 of an irregular oval form and of a red colour.
