NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES. 



WALKER'S LARGE WHITE. PR. CAT. No. 10. 



This is a very large and fine grape ; the colour, as the title 

 indicates, is white, the form oval, and the taste and flavour very 

 agreeable ; the bunches are shouldered and very large, and 

 have received the encomiums of several members of our Hor- 

 ticultural Society. It is very distinct from the preceding, and 

 the fruit of larger size. The vine, which is the parent of 

 those found in our collections, is growing in the garden of 

 the late Dr. Walker of New-York, to whose politeness, 

 and that of his son, I am indebted for the vines in my posses- 

 sion. 



ROUGH BLACK, GIBBS. PR. CAT. No. 142. 



This variety was received from the imperial garden at 

 Schoenbrun, near Vienna, by Col. Gibbs, of this island, to 

 whose -politeness and liberality I am indebted for it, as well as 

 for many other varieties received by him from the same source, 

 to which I have added his cognomen. 



This vine is prolific in its crops, and the grapes are consi- 

 dered very good. 



AUSTRIAN MUSCADEL, GIBBS. 



This is from the same collection as the preceding, and ought 

 probably to have been placed with the Muscat class. The 

 vine is hardy and exceedingly prolific, but the grapes ripen 

 late ; the bunches are large and the fruit white, but it has not 

 yet sufficiently matured here to pronounce upon its quality. 

 It needs short pruning, and would also succeed better further 

 south. 



The following additional varieties now in my vineyard ^ 

 received from the same source Queen, Blue Sylvan, Rough 

 white, Red cruger, Little silver white, Early Leipsic, Red 

 Sheerkat, Tckete-tara-gomer, and some others, including the 

 Blue cartager, which will be found under the head of wine
