NOMENCLATURE OP GRAPES, 



PLANT SARDOU. Dim. 



Vitis acini's albidis, magnis, subrotundis, et densis, cute tenui, fyc. 



This is supposed to have been introduced to France from 

 the island of Sardinia ; the berries are whitish, round and rather 

 large, and very closely set on the cluster. In favourable 

 climates it ripens from the fifteenth to the twentieth of Sep- 

 tember. The delicacy of its skin renders it subject to rot. 



LE GOMBERT, Dun. 



Vitis Minis dbidis, subfulms et dulcibus, cute crassa, fyc. 



The branches or shoots of this vine have their joints very 

 near to each other, and are of a reddish colour. The fruit 

 is white, and of an amber hue on the sunny side, and has a 

 pleasant taste. 



LE RIN BRUN, Dim. 



Vitis acino nigro, rotundo, molli. 



This vine throws out a great deal of wood, and the joints 

 are very near each other. The grape is black, round, and 

 soft, and is subject to detach itself easily from the bunch as it 

 approaches maturity, which arises from the delicacy of its skin y 

 which is but slightly attached to the peduncle. 



RAISIN BARBAROUX, DUH. 

 Raisin Grec. 



Vitis uvtiperampld; acinis rufescentibus maximis, rotundas, fyc,' 



This grape, which ripens in warm climates at the end of 

 August, and here about the middle of September, is equally 

 good for wine as for the table, but it will not keep long and 

 easily rots.
