210 GRAPES. 



Mr. Speechly says this is a justly esteemed fruit. It 

 is grown in the counties of Durham and Northumber- 

 land under the name of Green Ghee. 



47. MALMSEY MUSCADINE. Speedily, No. 30. 

 Malvoisee Musquee. Bradley, No. 15. 



This somewhat resembles the White Muscadine, but 

 the bunches and berries are rather smaller, and the juice 

 of a higher flavour, being remarkably sweet. 



It requires a vinery. 



Bradley says it is one of the richest musked grapes, 

 comes from Montserrat, and grows also plentifully about 

 Turin. 



48. PITMASTON WHITE CLUSTER. Hort. Trans. 

 Vol. iii. p. 249. t. 8. 



Bunches larger than those of the Black Cluster, 

 compact, and shouldered. Berries round, a little flat-

It ripens, on a south wall, earlier than the Sweetwater. 



It was raised about twenty years ago by John Wil-

 of the small Black Cluster.

Bunches large, with middling-sized shoulders. Ber- 

 ries of a moderate size, round, white, when ripe turning 

 to an amber colour, having a thin skin, a soft flesh, and 

 a rich vinous juice. 



It requires a vinery, or a stove. 



This is readily distinguished from the White Musca- 

 dine of Miller and Speechly, by the wood and foliage 

 growing remarkably gross and strong. That it is the 

 White Muscadine of Parkinson there can be but little 

 doubt, as he describes it as growing to a much larger
