176 NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES, 



stone, Esq. of the same state, and which were reared from that 

 of Mrs. S. have already produced about 30 bushels of fruit 

 at one time. The grape called, by Mr. Adlum, Red muncy, 

 and found by him wild in Maryland, and also in Ly coming 

 county, Pennsylvania, proved to be very similar to this kind. 

 Mr. A. considers this grape "to be worth all others, indige- 

 nous or exotic, as a wine grape," and that a greater variety 

 of wines may be made from it than from any other,

This grape was found near the town whose name it bears, 

 in Salem county, New-Jersey, where it would probably have

 cultivation by Dr. Hulings. It is a very sweet, juicy fruit, 

 and of a blue colour ; it is very hardy, exceedingly productive, 

 and promises to be valuable for wine ; the leaves assimilate to 

 those of the European vines much more than those of our native 

 varieties generally do, and in colour they resemble the Bland. 

 The bunches are of middle size, and the berries hang loosely : 

 it ripens at the same time as the Meunier, and is free from 

 pulp or musky taste, and has generally but two seeds. It is 

 undoubtedly a native, all the characteristics of which it bears. 

 Its wood resembles that of the Isabella; but the fruit approxi- 

 mates more to the Meunier of France than any other American 

 grape.
