202 GRAPES. 



of the bunches, which he has sent to Mr. Beckford, have 

 been pronounced superior, as an out- door grape, to any 

 he has tasted out of Italy. A basket, containing a few 

 bunches, was sent by Mr. Langford to Mrs. Mackie, of 

 Norwich, on the 8th of November, 1830, from which 

 this description is taken, and from whom plants may be 

 obtained. This grape was observed a few years ago by 

 a friend of mine, in passing through Wilton, in conse- 

 quence of the crop, which was abundant, being at thai 

 time nearly ripe, although other out-door grapes had not 

 begun to change their colour. 



27- LE CCEUR. Speechly, No. 6. 



Morocco. Ib. 



Bunches short, with small stiff shoulders. Berries 

 somewhat heart-shaped, of a tawny grizzly colour: they 

 are very unequal in size, some being exceedingly large ; 

 these never contain more than one stone in each, and 

 the lesser ones have none : their stalks are short, and 

 singularly large. Juice rich and musky. 



This is a late grape, and requires a hothouse. The 

 small berries are generally ripe and decayed before the 

 large ones are matured, which often renders the bunches 

 unsightly. Mr. Speechly says it is a much esteemed 

 grape, and very scarce. I do not find it mentioned by 

 any other author. 



28. LOMBARDY. Speedily, No. 23. 



Flame-coloured Tokay. Ib. 



Rhenish Grape. Ib. \ 



Red Rhenish, of some Collections. 



Bunches very large, frequently weighing six or seven 

 pounds ; they generally terminate abruptly, but they 

 are always handsomely formed, with proportionate 

 shoulders. Berries large, of a somewhat oval figure. 

 Skin of a pale fed or flame colour. Flesh firm, with a 

 pretty well flavoured Juice. 



Requires a hothouse.
