JUDSON'S RICHMOND VILLA BLACK HAMBURGH VINE. 



JOHN ANDREW HENDERSON and CO. have 



tf the pleasure of informing their patrons and friends that it 

 is their intention to eend out this very excellent new Grape on 

 the 1st Sept. next, at Sit. eaeh. 



Its distinguishing characteristics are as follows :— The foliage j 

 is more deeply serrated, and the wood shorter jointed than the ] 

 Black Hamburgh ; the berries are oval, and rather elongated, 

 and are remarkable for a very fine bloom not unlike that of 

 an Orlean Plum ; when fully ripe are a tine deep black, having 

 a fine rich flavour, and very juicy. 



It colours full ten days earlier than the Black Hamburgh ; 

 being a most abundant bearer, and good setter, will prove a 

 most desirable kind for pot culture. One very remarkable 

 property this Grape possesses, which much enhances its value, 

 and makes it so superior to the Black Hamburgh is, that it 

 never produces abortive, or, as they are termed, vinegar berries ; 

 after careful observation, extending over three successive sea- 

 sons, not one could be detected, although in each season the 

 crop was abundant and good. The usual allowance to the 

 Trade. — Pine Apple Place, Edgeware Road, London
