61. WHITE SWEET WATER. Langley, p. 113. t. 50. 

 Speechly, No. 16. 



Parel Druyf, of the Dutch Gardens. 



Berries large, round, of a white colour, and when 

 highly ripened, especially when exposed to the sun, they 

 are shaded with a light russet. They grow close on the 

 bunches, which are of a middle size. Juice very sac-

 1727, on a south wall, Aug. 10. O.S., or Aug. 21.N.S.

There are several names of White Sweetwater to be 

 found in different nurserymen's catalogues, but most of 

 them have arisen from the whim or caprice of their cul- 

 tivators.

 an exquisite flavour. The leaves in the autumn are
