298 THE CULTURE OF THE GKAPE. 



Bowker, one vine. 



Bishop, one vine. 



Black Portugal or Ferrar, one vine. 



Prince Albert, three vines. 



VAEIETIES MOST VALUABLE FOE GENERAL PLANTING. 



For planting, I would recommend the different varie- 

 ties of the Black Hamburgh grape as the best for the 

 greatest number of vines. 



The Grizzly, the "White and the Black Frontignan are 

 all admired by those persons who like the Muscat flavor ; 

 they are liable to shrivel, and are more delicate than 

 other grapes, and do not keep well when ripe ; the 

 Grizzly is the earliest of them. 



The Muscat of Alexandria is a large oval grape ; it 

 does not set well under glass, and requires artificial im- 

 pregnation ;* it is a firm-fleshed or breaking grape, and 

 when well ripened, cannot be exceeded in richness. 



The Tottenham Park Muscat is very like the above, 

 but not so high flavored, it sets the berries better. 



Portuguese Muscat is like the above, but is more 

 highly musk flavored. 



Ghasselas de Bar Sur Aube is a fine white grape, and 

 a good bearer. 



Pitmaston "White Cluster has rather small berries, but 

 is very early and good. 



* Otis Johnson, Esq., of Lynn, a successful cultiTator of the grape, the 

 past year, allowed the shoots of this variety to grow at random until the 

 fruit was swelling, and he thinks the result of the experiment was favora- 

 ble : the fruit set remarkably vrell.
