DK. HOGGr. — Bunches, tapering, a foot long, and well shouldered. 

 Berries, above medium size, round, three quarters to seven-eighths of 

 an inch in diameter, on slender stalks. Skin, thin and membranous, 

 not at all astringent, but sweet ; yellowish green when ripe, becoming 

 of a rich amber colour when highly ripened. Mesh, firm, sweet, and 

 sprightly, and with a fine Frontignan flavour. 



The finest of the white Frontignan grapes, equalling Chasselas 

 Musque in flavour, but much superior to it in size of the bunches and 

 the berries, the latter of which never crack their skin as that variety 

 invariably does. 



It was raised by Mr. John Pearson, of Chilwell, Nottingham, from Duchess of 

 Buocleuch, and received a first-class certificate from the Koyal Horticultural Society 

 in 1872. 



DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUCH.— Bunches, long and tapering, some- 

 times more than a foot in length, and well set and shouldered. Berries, 

 rather small and round. Skin, white or rather greenish, assuming a 

 yellowish tinge as the fruit attains maturity, covered with a thin grey 

 bloom. Flesh, tender, and very juicy, with a rich Muscat flavour. 



This excellent grape will ripen in a cool house. 



It was raised by Mr. Thomson, gardener to his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, 

 at Palkeith Park. 



DUG DE MALAKOFF [Chasselas Due de Malakoff).— This is a 

 form of the Sweetwater, but somewhat earlier. In all respects it so 

 nearly resembles that variety that it is not worth growing as distinct. 

 From what I have seen of it, it sets as badly as the Sweetwater, and 

 produces a bunch with a few large and a great many small berries. 



DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH.— Bunch, large, ovate, from eight to ten 

 inches long, with large broad shoulders. Stalk, thick, rather gross and 

 fleshy. Berries, enormously large, roundish in form, inclining to 

 oblate, vdth a large style-point. Skin, thin, pale greenish amber, 

 becoming of a rich amber when fully ripened. Flesh, tender, very 

 juicy, with a full rich sprightly Hamburgh flavour, exceedingly plea-
