whole class requires more heat and a drier atmosphere 
than is necessary for any other sort; they ficurish best 
in countries which are often tov arid and hot for the sue- 
cessful cultivation of grapes generally. In southern Spain 
and the warm and dry climates of Lima, and similar locali 
ties on the western coast of South America, they luxuriate 
widiout much care or attention, and produce s.1ost abun

Musqué is faulty from its liability to crack when swelling 
for ripening, but a free ventilation at the time, and a drier 
atmosphere, will considerably counteract this eyil, and 
when once ripe, it will continue good for a long time.
