NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES. Ill 



GOLDEN GALICIAN. 



A Spanish grape of a yellow colour, and passable in point 

 of flavour; the berries are of good size, of an oval form, and 

 the flesh firm ; the foot-stalks are of a pale yellow colour. 



BRICK GRAPE. LANCIEY POM. 



This is described by Forsyth as having small berries, nearly 

 oval, and of a deep red colour, with a thin skin and very 

 sweet juice ; its title is derived frgm its colour. I have no 

 doubt it is synonymous with some other described variety, and 

 is said to be with the flame tokay. 



BLACK GRAPE OF TRIPOLI. 



This is a well known grape of the English collections ; the 

 berries are large, round and black, and have each but one 

 seed ; the pulp is rich and juicy ; the foliage is vigorous, and 

 puts on a beautiful appearance in autumn. 



WHITE GRAPE OF ALCOBACA. 



This grape, carried from Portugal to England a long time 

 since, where it has been cultivated in their collections, has 

 white berries, which are large and oval, with a thin skin and 

 juicy flesh ; the clusters are large and long, and without 

 shoulders. 



DAMSON GRAPE. 



. ' - / ' " '&'*!* 



Under this name Speedily describes a vine, the berries of 

 which are very large, oval, and of a beautiful purple colour, 

 growing loosely on the bunch, which is of large size ; the 

 leaves also large, and more thick and succulent than those of 

 any other sort.
