CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 327 



large cluster ; berries medium, round, very black, covered 

 with a thick bloom ; sprightly acid, becoming good when 

 fully ripe. 



A SELECT LIST OP EXOTIC VARIETIES. 



As it is specially undesirable to grow inferior kinds 

 under glass, it is well to limit the list as much as is con- 

 sistent with a sufficient variety in quality. The follow- 

 ing list of best kinds for a cold grapery will give every 

 variety in color and quality as well as size. The figures 

 indicate the relative value and the number of each which 

 I would recommend in a collection of fifty vines. When 

 the collection is small, or for market-purposes, select only 

 the highest numbers.
