The Black Hamburgh has long been considered the first of 
black grapes for the vinery, but it will very rarely perfect its, 
fruit out of doors. Its very large size and most luscious flavour 
render it universally esteemed. 
Bunches large (about nine inches deep), 
and mostly with two shoulders, making it _ : \ 
“proad at the top. Berries very large, (fig. 
93,) roundish, slightly inclining to oval. 
Skin rather thick, deep brownish purple, 
becoming nearly black at full maturity. 
Flavour very sugary and rich. A good and 
regular bearer. =

recent variety which is said to bear larger Black Hamburgh. 
and handsomer fruit. .
