GRAPE VINES. 103 



called the Malmsey ; this is an excellent grape 

 for the wall or vinery, the berries when ripe 

 are of an amber colour, large, round, and very 

 fine flavoured ; it is one of the best white grapes 

 we have for the open wall, for it is a great bearer 

 and seldom fails to ripen. W. V. H. 



.2 Black Muscadine : this is a great bearer, 

 and will often ripen against the open wall : the 

 berries are handsome, having a very fine purple 

 bloom. V. 



3. Black Damascus ; this is a very fine large 

 black grape, full of rich juice, and highly es- 

 teemed. H. 



4. White Muscat of Alexandria; this grape 

 is in high estimation for the hot-house, the 

 berries are of a fine oval shape, the bunches 

 long and large, and the flavour much admired.

 large berries of rather an amber colour. V. H. 



6. White Chasselas, called by some the 

 White Muscadine ; this is a very good grape

 Royal Muscadine, but are not so large. W.
