in a warm vinery. It is the Black or Purple Frontignac 

 of Speechly ; but is very different from what is generally 

 cultivated for Black Frontignan that variety being the 

 IBlue or Violet Frontignac of Speechly. 



PUEPLE FONTAINBLEAU. I have never seen this grape, 

 but Mr. Rivers speaks of it as a very hardy variety, 

 ripening against a wall in the open air ; well adapted for 

 pot culture, and a prodigious bearer. The berries are 

 oval, light purple, sweet, and juicy.

EED CHASSELAS (Red Muscadine; Chasselas Rouge ; 

 Chasselas Rouge Fonce ; Cerese; Septembro). Bunches 

 medium sized, loose, rarely compact, shouldered; with 

 long, thin, and somewhat reddish stalks. Berries medium 

 sized, round. Skin thin, red, covered with a violet bloom. 

 Flesh juicy and sweet. The vine is a great bearer, and 

 Trill ripen its fruit in a cool vinery. The most remark- 

 able character of this variety is, that from the time the 

 germ is visible, or, as Mr. Eivers says, "no bigger than 

 a pin's head, it changes to red," and it becomes gradually 

 paler as the fruit ripens. Mr. Eivers says, " it is as 

 good as Eoyal Muscadine when fully ripe, and a great 

 bearer." 



EED FKONTIGNAN (Grizzly Frontignan; Muscat Gris; 

 Muscat Rouge ; Moscatel Menudo ; Cevana Dinlca; Rother

 and generally cylindrical, but occasionally with very 

 small shoulders. Berries above medium size, round. 

 Skin rather thick, yellow on the shaded side, clouded witli
