302 THE CULTUEE OF THE GRAPE. 



to each other; and it frequently happens, as with our 

 orchard fruits, that the same Tiind is known under differ- 

 ent names in different districts." — Sorticuli/uraZ Tour, 

 Edinburgh. 



The following list* contains the new varieties, with the 

 valuable older ones recently brought to notice, part of 

 which have not yet been proved in this country : — 



1^ Black HamhurgTi. — ^The bunches are large and 

 shouldered, the berries black and roundish ; it is un- 

 necessary to say more, as it is universally known to be 

 the best variety for general cultivation under glass. 



^ Eschoiata Muscat. — ^This is a seedling of the Mus- 

 cat of Alexandria. This variety, which Mr. Thompson 

 makes a synonyme of the Muscat of Alexandria, was 

 shown at the exhibition of the London Horticultural So- 

 ciety, September, 1847. Although distinct, it is said to 

 resemble that variety ; the berries have a pink tinge. 

 The Esperione is supposed to have been one of its parents. 

 This grape was brought into notice by Mr. Money. It 

 keeps well. 



T Chassdas Musque White. — Cracks badly; but, 

 when grown in a part of the grapery where there is a 

 free circulation of air, it does well in usual seasons. At 

 Enghien, seat of the Due d'Aremberg, " we found the 

 Chasselas Musque trained along the front of the house 

 possessed by the chamberlain, and we were told that, be- 

 fore the end of October, the grapes seldom fail to ripen 

 fully, and to acquire their musky flavor." — Hort. Tour, 

 Edinburgh, 1823. 



* The grapes marked with a % have been proved in this countr7 to b« 

 true to the description.
