290 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



GOLDEN HAMBURG-H [Bushifs Golden Hamburgh; Stockwood 

 Park Golden Hamburgh). — Bunches, large, loose, Isranching, and 

 gbouldered. Berries, large and oval. Skin, thin, of a pale yellow 

 colour, but when highly ripened, pale amber. Flesh, tender and 

 melting, very juicy, rich, sugary, and vinous. 



An excellent early grape, but must not be allowed to hang long, as 

 it very soon decays after ripening, particularly at the point of union 

 with the stalk, where it becomes discoloured. Ripens in a cool vinery, 

 and forces weU. The leaves die yellow. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. — Bunches, nine inches long, with a stout stalk, 

 long, tapering, and well shouldered, Uke Muscat of Alexandria. Berry- 

 stalks, rather long, but stout and warted. Berries, upwards of an inch, 

 and sometimes an inch and a quarter long ; oblong or oval. Skin, 

 membranous, of a clear amber colour. Flesh, firm and crackling, very 

 juicy, and richly flavoured. 



This is a fine grape, and the constitution of the vine is very good. 



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

 crossed by Ferdinand de Lesseps, and was awarded a first-class certificate by the 

 Koyal Horticultural, Society in 1873. 



GRAHAM'S MUSCAT MUSCADINE {Cranford Muscat Muscadine; 

 Cranford Muscat). — The bunches are of good size and cylindrical, 

 similar in every respect to those of Royal Muscadine. The berries 

 also resemble those of that variety, but the flavour is strongly charged 

 vrith that of the Muscat, and is more piquant than in the Chasselas 

 Musque, which is rather sugary than sprightly in its flavour. The 

 flesh is also more tender, and not so crackling. It ripens perfectly in 

 a house without fire heat.

 purplish brown. Flesh, tender, juicy, and sweet, with a brisk vinous
