This has leaves of a lively green hue and slightly lobed ; 

 the clusters are short, moderately large, composed of round 

 berries which are pretty close, of a grayish colour, and of a 

 sweet and perfumed flavour. There were vineyards formerly 

 in France composed entirely of this grape, and the fine vine- 

 yard of Pouilli is still so in a great measure. It is also found 

 in the vineyards of Provence, and is known in the different 

 districts by a great variety of names, and often confused with 

 other varieties as the synonymes evince. The white wine made 

 from it is in high esteem, and deemed the third best in France. 

 It abounds in alcohol and has much body, is clear and mellow 

 with a fine bouquet. The vine is said to succeed best in a 

 sandy or gravelly soil, and on inclined and warm exposi- 

 tions ; but a celebrated vigneron has informed me that it will 

 succeed in almost any situation that is open and airy, It is 

 very hardy and one of the least difficult in point of culture, 

 and in addition to its wine properties, is esteemed as a table 

 fruit.
