colour, and covered with thin bloom. Flesh very melt- 

 ing, abundantly juicy, very rich, sugary, and vinous. 



A very excellent grape, ripening with Black Ham- 

 burgh ; but keeping plump long after the Black Ham- 

 burgh shrivels. The vine is a free grower and a good 

 bearer ; and Mr. Fleming informs me that it resists power-

 introduced by Mr. Rivers under the name given as a 

 synonyme ; but, not being a Muscat, its present name 

 was adopted.
