806 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



though not thick, is tough and membranous, separating freely from the 

 flesh, of a jet black colour, and covered with thin bloom. Flesh, very 

 meltmg, abundantly juicy, very rich, sugary, and vinous. 



A very excellent grape, ripening with Black Hamburgh, but keepmg 

 plump long after the Black Hamburgh shrivels. The vine is a free 

 grower and a good bearer. 



TKOYEREN FKONTIGNAN {Troverm ; Muscat Troverm).— 

 Bunches, large and well set, with very large round berries. Skin, 

 greenish white at first, changing as it ripens to pale amber, and fre- 

 quently with russet lines and specks. Flesh, firm and crackling, juicy, 

 sweet, rich, and with a mild Frontignan flavour. 



This is a beautiful grape, and appears to be an exaggerated form of 

 White Frontignan. It requires a hot vinery.

VENN'S BLACK MUSCAT. — Bunches, large, long, tapering, and 

 well shouldered, with rather slender stalks. Berries, medium sized, 

 oval. Skin, brownish black or quite black when well grown, and 

 covered with a fine bloom ; thin and membranous. Flesh, firm, rich, 

 and juicy, with a distinct Muscat flavour. 



A very excellent black Muscat grape, which ripens in a cool vinery 

 under the same treatment as Black Hamburgh. 



It was raised by Mr. Sweeting, gardener to Mr. T. G. Venn, Sneyd Park, near 

 Bristol, and was awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Horticultural 

 Society in 1874. 



VERDELHO. — Bunches, rather small, conical, and loose. Berries, 

 small, unequal in size, and oval. Skin, thin and transparent, yellowish 

 green, but becoming a fine amber colour when highly ripened, with 

 sometimes markings of russet. Flesh, tender, sugai-y, and richly 

 flavoured. 



It is from this grape that the Madeira wine is principally made. The 

 stalk is very brittle and herbaceous.
