THE GRAPE. 324 
Hungary is made. We have Tipened it very well in the open 
air. Its flavour is good and its aroma peculiarly agreeable, — 
Bunches of medium size, compact. Berries rounded oval, 
closely set. Skin thin, of a dull white. Flesh very delicate, ° 
sweet and perfumed. Leaves deeply 5-lobed, and covered with 
a satiny down on the lower surface. 
28. Warre Hampuren. Thomp. 
White Lisbon. White Portugal. 
White Raisin. 
This is the Portugal grape of commerce, which is so largely 
exported to different parts of the world in jars. It is not a high 
flavoured though a very showy grape, and will hang a long time 
on the vines after maturity. _It requires a vinery. : 
Bunches very large and loose. Berries large oval. Skin 
thick, greenish-white. Flesh solid, sweet, and sometimes with 
a slight Muscat flavour, Bunches of this variety weighing over 
three pounds have been grown near Boston. 
29. Wurre Nice. Thomp. M‘Intosh. 
A very large and showy fruit, and, in a vinery with fire-heat, 
a very excellent sort. M‘Intosh, an English gardener of repu- 
tation, has grown bunches of this the White. Nice to the enor- 
mous weight of eighteen pounds, and considers it “one of the 
noblest of grapes.” 
Bunches very large, with loose shoulders. Berries roundish, 
medium size, thinly distributed over the shoulders and sides af- 
the bunch. Skin thin, rather tough, greenish-white, becoming, 
finally, a little yellowish. Flesh crisp, sweet, and of very good 
flavour. Leaves and wood very strong, the latter remarkably 
downy beneath.

Schloss Johanniskerg. Petit Riessling. 
Rudeshimerberg. Grosser Riessling. 
Reissling. — Réssling. 
Kleier Rissling. 
The most celebrated grape of the Rhine, producing the cele- 
brated Hock wines It is yet little known in this country, but 
from its very great hardiness and productiveness, in the cold 
districts of its native soil, we hope to find in it a valuable acqui- 
sition for our gardens—if not for our vineyards. 
Bunches of medium size, compact. Berries rather small, 
round. Skin thin. Flesh tender and juicy, with sweet and 
sprightly pleasant flavour.
