THE GRAPE. 



wood. Quite hardy, requires rich soil, open, and well drained, to pro- 

 duce the finest of fruit. One of our most, if not the most, valuable sorts 

 for general cultivation. Very productive. 



Bunch small, very compact, and generally shouldered. Berries 

 rather small, round. Skin thin, of a beautiful light red, very translu- 

 cent. It is without hardness or acidity in its pulp, exceedingly sweet, 

 but sprightly, vinous, and aromatic.
