to pale yellow wlien quite ripe. Flesh firm and crackling, 

 sweet, and, when well ripened, of good flavour. 



This is a very good late grape, and generally produces 

 bunches weighing from 7 Ibs. to 10 Ibs. ; but, to obtain 

 the fruit in its greatest excellence, the vine requires to 

 be grown in a hothouse, and planted in very shallow, dry, 

 sandy soil. Speechly states that he grew a bunch at 

 Welbeck weighing 20 Ibs., and measuring 21f inches long 

 and 19| inches across the shoulders. It is a strong 

 grower and an abundant bearer.

TOKAY. The Hungarian wine, called Tokay, is not 

 produced from any particular description of grape nor 

 grown in any particular vineyard ; the name is applied 

 to all wine grown on the hills of Zemplen, of which Tokay 

 is the chief ; and the ground so cultivated extends over 

 seven or eight square leagues of surface. The name 

 Tokay is, therefore, applicable to many varieties of grapes, 

 and it has thus been applied to several varieties in this 

 country. But there is one which, being distinct from 

 all the others, I have described under the name of White 

 Tokay, which see.

TEEBBIANO (Trelliano Bianco ; Trellnano Vcro ; Erla- 

 lus ; Ugni Blanc}. Bunches very large, broad-shouldered, 

 and well set. Berries medium sized, roundish-oval, some- 

 times oval and sometimes almost round. Skin thick, 

 tough, and membranous, somewhat adhering to the 

 flesh ; greenish-white, covered with a very delicate bloom. 

 Flesh firm and crackling, sweet and richly flavoured 

 when well ripened. 



This is a late grape, requiring the same heat and treat- 

 ment as the Muscats, and will hang as late as the end of 

 March. It requires fire heat in September and October 

 to ripen it thoroughly before winter 'sets in. I have seen 

 bunches of this 14 inches long and 10 inches across. 



TBENTHAM BLACK (Muscat Noir KEspagne). Bunches 

 large, tapering, and shouldered. Berries above medium 

 size, oval. Skin, though not thick, is tough and mem- 

 branous, separating freely from the flesh, of a jet black
