THE GRAPE. 523 



TROVEREN FRONTIGNAN. 

 Troveren. Muscat Troveren. Muscat Troveren Blanc. 



This, says Rivers, is one of, if not the finest of all the Frontignans. 

 A great bearer, and with a rich Muscat flavor in the fruifc. 



Bunches large. Berries very large, roundish oval, greenish, chang- 

 ing to pale amber. Flesh firm and crackling, juicy, sweet, and acid. 

 Requires fire heat. 



TYNINGHAM MUSCAT. 



A late variety that sets well and is very productive. 



Bunches very large, double-shouldered. Berries large, oval, amber 

 yellow, slight bloom. Flesh solid, juicy, sweet, and of a rich Muscat 

 flavor. 



VERDELHO. 

 Verdal. Verdilhio. Madeira Wine Grape. 



A vigorous growing Grape, of good quality, from Madeira, which is 

 largely used in that island for making the best wines. 



Bunches rather small, loose. Berries small, rather unequal in size, 

 and often without seeds. Skin thin, semi-transparent, yellowish green, 

 a little tinged with russet when very ripe. Juice a little acid at first, 

 but rich and excellent at maturity. 



WHITE FRONTIGNAN. 



"White Constantia. White Frontniac. Nepean's Constantia. 



Muscat Blanc. Raisin de Frontignan. Muscat Blanc de Jura. 



Moschata Bianca. Moscado Bianco. Moscatel Commun. 



Muscateller. Weisser Muscateller. Weisse Muscaten Traube. 



The White Frontignan is a very favorite Grape, as the many names 

 quoted above, by which it is known in various parts of Europe, suffi- 

 ciently prove. Its hardy habit, uniform productiveness in the vinery, 

 and most luscious flavor, make it everywhere esteemed. 



Bunches of medium size, or pretty long, and without shoulders. 

 Berries middle-sized, round, rather thickly set. Skin thin, dull white 

 or yellow, covered with a thin bloom. Flesh tender, with a rich, per- 

 fumed, musky flavor. 



WHITE HAMBURGH. 

 White Lisbon. White Portugal. White Raisin. 



This is the Portugal Grape of commerce, which is so largely ex- 

 ported to different parts of the world in jars. It is not a high-flavored 

 though a very showy grape, and will hang a long time on the vines after 

 maturity. It requires fire-heat. 



Bunches very large and loose. Berries large oval. Skin thick, 

 greenish white. Flesh solid, sweet, and sometimes with a slight Muscat 

 flavor. Bunches of this variety weighing over three pounds have been 

 grown near Boston.
