green, and yellow ; and they have long, red, flattish 

 petioles.

 a dry bottom. 



40. WORTLEY HALL GRAPE. Hort. Trans. Vol. 

 iv. p. 516. 



Bunches in general appearance like those of the Black 

 Hamburgh. They are well shouldered and tapering, 

 and the berries regularly distributed. Berries large, 

 rather oval than round, somewhat broadest at the head, 

 with an irregular surface. Skin very glossy, dark pur- 

 ple. Flesh thick, but juicy, sweet, and pleasant ; with 

 a very slight Muscat flavour. Seeds large, but rarely 

 more than one in each berry. 



It requires a hothouse. 



This grape sprang up from seed, in the stove at 

 Wortley Hall, in Yorkshire, and first bore fruit in 1819, 

 when it was exhibited at the Horticultural Society : the 

 bunch weighed two pounds.

41. ALEXANDRIAN CIOTAT. Hort. Trans. Vol. iv. 

 p. 3. 1. 1. 



Bunches large and long, with narrow shoulders. 

 Berries oval, a little broader at the head than next the 

 stalk, and they sit rather thin upon the bunches. Skin 

 pale yellow on the shaded part ; but where exposed to 

 the sun, of an amber colour, and covered with numerous 

 brown russetty dots. Flesh firm, like the Muscat of 

 Alexandria, but not with its perfume : the Juice is, how- 

 ever, good ; and it is a great bearer. 



It requires a vinery.
