182 NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES. 



From such variations produced by trivial attention, it may 

 justly be inferred that this variety may be subjected to far 

 greater melioration and improvement by proper attention to 

 its culture, &c. and by the production of seminal varieties. 



RED FOX. PR. CAT. No. 382. 



Vitis labrusca, v. rosea. 



The fruit is large, of oblate form, and of a brick red colour ; 

 it has a hard pulp, and not a great deal of juice, but is very 

 odorous or musky ; it makes the most exquisite confectionary, 

 in the form of jelly this is made with an equality of sugar, 

 the fruit being strained to separate the skins and seeds (water 

 with it of course) it must then be evaporated slowly, until 

 of the proper consistence ; the flavour of the jelly is rich and 

 delicately musky. 



Professor Gimbrede has reared several varieties of this 

 grape from seeds, some of which are of very large size, and 

 others sweeter than the common variety ; the whole class, 

 however, is deficient in high vinous properties. 



BAUCHMAN'S RED FOX. 



Vitis labrusca, v. rosea maxima. 



This vine I received from C. Bauchman, Esq. of Pennsyl- 

 vania, a gentleman who possesses a great fund of information 

 in respect to the different varieties of grapes, their culture, &c. 

 and who has, in connection with his friend Jacob B. Garber, 

 Esq. of the same state, rendered me great aid on important 

 points, with regard to the respective qualities of our native 

 vines, and the success attending vineyards in that state, &c. 



The fruit of this vine is of remarkably large size, measur- 

 ing frequently above three inches in circumference. In its 

 flavour and colour it resembles the common red fox.
