 Nice.

^ Purple Muscat. — Has not the flavor of the Muscat, 

 and is a poor bearer ; sets badly.

 flavor and color, it promises to be fine ; the berry, when 

 growing, is oval, and changes to round, or nearly so, at 

 maturity.

 are very small, of good flavor, and remain sound for a 

 long time after maturity.

 markably handsome, of peculiar flavor, and very late.

 ripened its fruit in my grapery in 1852.
