150 NOMENCLATURE OP GRAPES. 



LOUXTENDRE PECOUE, Dra. 



Raisin a grappes molJes. 

 Vitis uvd mediocri et oblonga ; atinis rotundis, minutis, dulcibus, fyc. 



The bunches of this vine are of oblong form and not very 

 large, the berries are small, and round, and have an agree- 

 able flavour ; the skin is thin and dotted with reddish points ; 

 the peduncle which supports the cluster is rather soft than 

 woody, and it is from this circumstance it has received its titles. 



TIBOTJREN TIBOULEN, DUH. PR. CAT. No. 240. 



Antiltoulen. 

 Vitis uvd minuta, acinis mediocribus, nlgris, rotundis et raris, cute crossa, $c. 



This vine derives its name from that part of Provence, 

 where it is the most particularly cultivated, which is Antibes, 

 at Marseilles. Its fruit, which is one of the earliest among the 

 black and red varieties of grapes, is very sweet. It yields a 

 wine slightly coloured, very saccharine, and which becomes 

 sparkling by keeping, but requires a great deal of attention to 

 preserve it. This variety would be very productive, if the 

 blossoms were not subject to the blight or coidure. The berries 

 which ma.ture are very distant from each other on the bunch, 

 which renders its culture but of little profit. The wine it pro- 

 duces scarcely ever enters into the commercial sales, as it will 

 not bear transportation ; the proprietors of French vineyard? 

 therefore who make it with care, keep it for their own use. 



PLANT DE RAGUSE, Dun. 

 Ragusa grape. 



Vitis minuta; uv&parvd ; acinis albido subfulvis, rolundis, fyc. 



This vine, which is very remarkable on account of its long 

 Punches, was brought from Ragusa to Marseilles, by M. 

 D'Hercules. An excellent pale wine is made from it in France, 

 which has much reputation and is sought after even by foreigner?
