328 THE GRAPE. 



CLASS m. 



GRAPES WITH LIGHT RED, ROSE-COLOURED, OR STRIPED BERRIES. 



31. Aleppo. Thomp. Lind. 



Switzerland Grape. Raisin d'Aless. 



Striped Muscadine. Chasselas panache. 



Variegated Chasselas. Maurillan panache. 



Raisin Suisse. Maurillan noir panache. 



A very singular grape, the berries being mostly striped with 

 white and black in distinct lines ; or sometimes half the bunch 

 will be black, and half white. It bears very well, and is de- 

 serving a place in the vinery of the amateur. The foliage is 

 also prettily striped in autumn. 



Bunches rather below medium size. Berries medium size, 

 roundish. Skin thin, striped with white and dark red, or black 

 Flesh juicy, and of a rich and excellent flavour. 



32. Grizzly Frontignan. Thomp. Lind. 



Red Frontignan, {of some.) Muscat Grris. 



Grizzly Frontignac. Muscado Rosso. 



Red Constantia. Kummel Traube. 



Muscat Rouge. Grauer Muscateller. 



This delicious grape requires to be grown in a vinery, when it 

 is, to our taste, scarcely surpassed. 



Bunches rather long, with narrow shoulders. Berries round, 

 of medium size, and growing closer upon the bunches than those 

 of the White Frontignan. Skin thick, pale brown, blended with 

 red and yellow. Flesh very juicy, rich, musky and high flavoured. 



The Red Frontignan Thompson considers the same as the 

 foregoing, only being more deeply coloured in some situations. 

 But Lind ley, with whom we are inclined to agree in this case, 

 keeps it distinct. The latter describes the Ptcd Frontignan as 

 having bunches without shoulders, berries perfectly round, and 

 deep red, flavour excellent. These two sorts require more care- 

 ful comparison. 



33. Knight's Variegated Chasselas. Thomp, 

 Variegated Chasselas. Lind. 



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

 Chasselas, impregnated by the Aleppo. A curious and pretty 

 fruit, but not fii'st rate in flavour. 



Bunches rather long, unshouldered. Berries below the mid- 

 dle size, round, loosely set. Skin quite thin, white, shaded with
