316 THE CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 



grape, with an oval and rather small berry. I do not 

 consider it any better than the Pitraaston. 



^ Portuguese Muscat. — A variety of the Muscat of 

 Alexandria ; it is more musque-fiavored, and sets its 

 fruit better. 



T De RTiinelander. — This is a white grape, and said 

 to be hardy ; under glass, it has proved not unlike White 

 Chasselas. 



f Cambridge Botanic Garden G-rape. — This fruit is 

 black, and esteemed by many as quite equal to the Black 

 Hamburgh ; it has been fruited in this country by R. 

 L. Colt, Esq., of Paterson, N.J. 



Barharossa. — ^This is a new black grape, advertised - 

 for sale in England. It is represented as having berries 

 as large as the Hamburgh. 



^ Gross Bleu. — A new grape, very like the Black 

 Hamburgh. Messrs. Hovey, who have fruited it, state 

 the foliage to be quite different, however. 



% Gross Gromier du Oantal. — Parsons & Co., of 

 Flushing, near New York, have fruited this variety. 

 They represent it as of second quality, but a great 

 bearer ; color, foxy purple ; berries a little larger than 

 the Red Chasselas. From the first description of this 

 new grape in Europe, I have been of opinion, that it 

 would prove a synonyme of De Candolle, or Flame 

 Colored Tokay. 



T Chasselas de Florence. — ^This new grape was proved 

 in Hartford, Conn., last season, (1852,) in the grapery of 

 Charles L. Porter, Esq. This gentleman says, " It is a 

 fine Chasselas, equal, perhaps, to the Bar Sur Aube, and 

 of the same character."
