ISABELLA. Bunches large. Berries large and oval.

 vinous, with a musky flavour. 



This is a variety of Vitis Labrusca, a native American 

 grape, cultivated in the open air in the United States, 

 both for the dessert and for wine ; but it is not of much 

 account in England. 



ISCHIA (Noir Precoce de Genes; Uva di tri volte}. 

 The bunches and berries of this variety very much re- 

 semble those of Black Cluster; but the fruit ripens as

 and luxuriant in its growth, and bears abundantly, if not 

 pruned too close. In Italy it produces three crops in a 

 year by stopping the shoot two or three joints beyond 

 the last bunch just as the flower has fallen and the berries 

 set ; new shoots are started from the joints that are left, 

 and also bear fruit, and these being again stopped, a third 

 crop is obtained. 



This variety succeeds admirably against a wall in the 

 open air.
