LOMBARDY (Flame-coloured Tokay; Reel Rhenish ; Red 

 Taurida; Wantage). Bundles very large, shouldered, 

 closely set, and handsome ; sometimes weighing from six 

 to seven pounds. Berries large and round, inclining to 

 oval. Skin pale red or flame coloured. Flesh firm, 

 sweet, and well flavoured, but only second-rate. 



This requires a high temperature to ripen it. The vine 

 is a very strong grower, and requires a great deal of 

 ipom ; but it is a good bearer. The only recommenda- 

 tion to this variety is the great size of the bunches and 

 beauty of the fruit.

MADEIRA MUSCAT. Bunches of medium size, rather 

 compact. Berries above medium size, round. Skin red- 

 dish-purple. Flesh very juicy and rich, with a high 

 musky flavour. 



^This is an excellent grape, and ripens well in a cool 

 vinery at the same season as the Black Hamburgh.

MARCHIONESS OF HASTINGS. Bunches large, loose, 

 and broadly shouldered. Berries upwards of an inch 

 long and about an inch wide ; oval. Skin thin, greenish 

 white, covered with thin grey bloom. Flesh squashy 

 and watery, without much flavour. This is an early 

 grape, and ripens in an ordinary vinery. Its only recom- 

 mendation is the size of the bunches, which may be grown 

 to weigh four pounds.
