equally of an unusually great size ; the latter certainly as large as some 

 plums. It requires a considerable amount of heat to ripen it, and it 

 hangs very late.

GEOS GUILLAUME {Seacliffe BZacA:).— Bunches, twelve to eighteen 

 inches long, shouldered, tapering, and compact. Berries, round, in- 

 clining to oval. Skin, tough, but not thick, of a deep black colour, 

 covered with thin bloom. Flesh, tender, juicy, and of good flavour, 

 though not rich. 



This is a valuable late gi'ape, hanging all the winter, and keeping 

 well till the middle of March, when it is particularly rich, and has a 

 fine brisk flavour. It is only after hanging that it acquires its best 

 condition. The vine is a bad bearer, except in poor soils, and it 

 requires the aid of artificial heat to ripen the fruit properly. The 

 leaves die dark purple mottled. 



This is generally grown in Great Britain as Barbarossa. 



GEOS MAEOC (Marocain). — Bunches, large, long, and shouldered, 

 and with a long stalk. Berries, large and oval. Skin, thick, of a deep 

 reddish purple, and covered with an abundant blue bloom. Flesh, 

 tender, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



This is an excellent grape, and ripens along with the Black Ham- 

 burgh. It is frequently confounded with the Gros Damas, from which 

 it is distinguished by its smoother and more deeply-cut leaves, shorter- 

 jointed wood, and earUer ripening. 



Grosse Pause. See Panse Jaune. 



GEOSSE PEELE BLANCHE.— Bunches, large, loose, and taper- 

 ing. Berries, of large size, oval, and in shape resembling those of 

 Muscat of Alexandria. Skin, thick and tough, of a pale amber colour 

 when quite ripe. Flesh, firm and crackling, but without any flavour. 



This is very like Panse Jaune, but sets its fruit very much better. 



GEOS ROMAIN. — This is a large, round-berried grape, of a deep 

 amber colour, which Mr. Elvers says is of a nice flavour ; but the fruit 

 sets badly. It is quite distinct from White Remain.
