520 THE GRAPE. 



JURA MUSCAT. 

 Muscat Noir de Jura. 



A valuable Grape. Vine very prolific. 



Bunches long, tapering, slightly shouldered. Berries above medium 

 oval, and well set. Skin purplish black or dark chocolate, with a thin 

 blue bloom. Flesh solid, tender, juicy, richly flavored, with a fine Mus- 

 cat aroma. 



KNIGHT'S VARIEGATED CHASSELAS. 

 Variegated Chasselas. 



A hybrid seedling, raised by Mr. Knight from the White Chasselas 

 impregnated by the Aleppo. A curious and pretty fruit, but not first- 

 rate in flavor. 



Bunches rather long, unshouldered. Berries below the middle size, 

 round, loosely set. Skin quite thin, white, shaded with bluish violet, 

 sometimes becoming purplish in the sun. Flesh tender, sweet, and plea- 

 sant. 



LADY DOWNE'S. 

 Lady Downe's Seedling 1 . 



This variety was grown from seed of the Black Morocco crossed by 

 the Chasselas or Sweetwater. It is among the most valuable, ripening 

 its fruit and hanging a long time Hogg says, from August until 

 March. 



Bunches large, rather loose, shouldered. Berries above medium, 

 roundish oval. Skin rather thick, reddish purple, becoming quite black, 

 with a delicate bloom. Flesh dull white, firm, sweet, and richly 

 flavored. 



LOMBARDY. 

 Flame-Colored Tokay. Khemish Red. Wantage. Red Grape of Taurida. 



The Lombardy is remarkable for the very large size of the bunches, 

 which are frequently twelve to eighteen inches long. It is a handsome 

 fruit, the berries thickly set (so much so as to need a good deal of thin- 

 ning), and it requires fire-heat to bring it to full perfection. 



Bunches very large, handsomely formed, with large shoulders. Ber- 

 ries large, roundish. Skin thick, pale red or flame-colored. Flesh firm, 

 sweet, with a sprightly, very good flavor. 



MILLER'S BURGUNDY. 



Miller Grape. Miiller. Le Meunier. 



Mullevrebe. Morillon Taconne". Morone Farinaccio. 



Fromente. Pulverulenta. Aleatica du Po. 



Farineux noir. Sauvignien noir. Noirin. 



A variety that ripens pretty well in the open air, and is readily 

 known by the dense covering of cottony down which lines both sides of 

 the leaves, whence the name Miller's Grape. 



Bunches short, thick, and compact. Berries roundish oval, very 

 closely set together. Skin thin, black, with a blue bloom. Flesh ten- 

 der, abounding with a sweet, high-flavored juice. Each berry contains 

 two small seeds.
