THE CULTUEE OF THE GEAPE. 303 



T Cannon Hall Muscat. — Sets badly ;* requires arti- 

 licial impregnation ; the berries are white, large and 

 very handsome, and high flavored. A late variety. 



■j" Bloom, Maisin Seedling. — A coarse late white varie- 

 ty ; sets badly. 



\ Wilmoi's New Black HamhurgTi. — Has large, 

 ronnd, very black berries, with a hammered appearance. 

 It is uncertain in quality, often fine, but as often too as- 

 tringent ; it requires always to hang long after it has 

 colored, before cutting ; in a poor situation it does not 

 set well. 



^ Wilmofs No. 16. — Has proved fine ; it is a variety 

 of the Elack Hamburgh, and often cannot be distin- 

 guished from i*. 



Blussard Noir. 



^ Chasselas Eatif Petit.— '^oo small to be worthy of 

 cultivation. 



■[ White MamhurgTi. — A very handsome grape, with 

 large bunches ; the berries are oval ; it is of second 

 quality. 



•f Pitmaston White Cluster.— A very fine early varie- 

 ty ; the bunch is of a medium size, the berries are round 

 and compact; this is a desirable variety. The Scotch 

 "White Cluster is the same as this, or very much like it. 



•f Blach Zombardy.—A fine late grape ; this is the 

 same as "West's St. Peter's ; esteemed by those who pre- 

 fer a sprightly flavor mingled with the sweet. 



* When a vine in the spring has fruit clusters in large numbers on the 

 young shoots, it is said to " show fruit weU." A vine may do this and yet 

 be an unproductive variety,— as in the blossom, some kinds, under unfavor- 

 able drcumstances, do not set their fruit; that is, the seed is not impregna- 

 ted, and, when this U the case, the berry remains small
