NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES. 



ror may have been committed at the time of receiving the 

 original plant, I have obtained several others to compare 

 with it. 



MORRIS' SEEDLING MALAGA. 



" 



Large Blue Seedling from the White Malaga. 



This vine was reared from a seed of the White Malaga by 

 the lady of Richard Hill Morris, Esq. of Pennsylvania, and 

 from the sportive character of the species produced blue fruit. 

 The berries are large and rather closely set, and it is an ex- 

 cellent table fruit. 



COOPER'S WINE. PR. CAT. No. 39. 



This grape I am informed by Caleb R. Smith, Esq. of 

 New-Jersey, is a native of that state, where it was first intro- 

 duced to notice by Joseph Cooper, Esq. The vine is of 

 vigorous growth, and produces abundantly ; the berries are 

 round, of a medium size and purple colour, and those which 

 are ripened in the most favourable situations are tolerable for 

 eating, its particular value however is for the purpose of mak- 

 ing wine. By an inadvertency it was placed in my catalogue 

 under the head of exotic vines, but I presume it is justly en- 

 titled to be considered a native. 



CARTER'S FAVORITE. PR. CAT. No. 376. 



The foliage of this vine has much similarity to the Bland ; 

 the fruit I have not yet seen, but it is represented as a valua- 

 ble grape by my esteemed correspondent George Carter, Esq. 

 of Virginia, who has concentrated at his seat in that state a 

 great variety of the most choice and rare vines, exotic as well 

 as native, besides a very large collection of other fruits. Mr. 

 C. does not state that it is positively distinct from all others, 

 but leaves that point to be determined by experience.
