FKANKENTHAL {Black Tripoli ; Merrick's Victoria; Pope Ham- 

 burgh; Victoria Hamburgh; Gros Bleu; Chasselas de Jerusalem). —

 oblate, and rarely roundish-oval, sometimes hammered and scarred, as

 oblate, and hammered berries.

A large and very handsome early grape, which as a rule does not

It was raised by Mr. William Thomson, at Dalkeith Palace Gaj-dens, in 1863, 

 and was the result of a cross between Mill Hill Hamburgh and Bowood Muscat, 

 It received a first-class certificate from the Koyal Horticultural Society in July,-
