mm?' ^dsmt 



(g 16. Frontignac GPtizzLY, Grizzly Muscat. — Young wood light L« 

 p green, smooth; foliage dark green ; lobes not deep, broadly serrated ; 

 / footstalks short, slightly tinged with a brownish hue; bunches of me- 

 dium size, with small narrow shoulders ; berries round, larger than 

 those of the White Frontignac, and growing closer on the branch, of 

 a pale brown color, intermixed with red and yellow ; very rich and 

 musky flavor. 



17. Fromenthal. — Scarcely different from the Black Hamburgh, 

 not demanding a distinct description. 



18. Frontignac Blue, Purple Consiantia, Black Constantia. — 

 Young wood light green, smooth; foliage dark green, lobes not deep, 

 the old leaves recurved, turning purple, mixed with orange before fall- 

 ing ; footstalks short, reddish; bunch very long, berries round, rather 

 thickly set on the bunch, of a medium size, black or deep purple col- 

 or, and very rich flavor. 



19. Grove End Sweet Water, Early White Malvoise. — Young 

 wood green; foliage green; lobes not deep, slightly incurved; footstalk 

 short, green; bunch rather long, compact; berries closely set, roundish 

 oval, of a dull greenish yellow, thin skin, sweet and good flavor — a 

 profuse bearer. 



20. Gros Mier du Kenthal. — Young wood light green ; foliage 

 dark green, deeply lobed, broadly serrated, very rough on the under 

 side; footstalk longish, rough, with a purple tinge. 



21. Hanstretto. — Young wood light green ; downy foliage, dark 

 green; lobes rather deep, broadly serrated, very downy on the under 

 side; footstalk long, downy, of a brownish hue ; bunch long, loose, 

 berries medium size, oval ; longuish footstalk, with a thick skin of a 

 dark purple color, sweet, with a little acidity, but pleasant — a very 

 good grape for growing in the open air. 



22. Lombardy Black, West St. Peters, (Poonah of some.) — Young 

 wood light green, changing to a blueish color before ripening; joints 

 rather short; foliage dark green ; rather small lobes, not deep, irregu- 

 larly serrated ; footstalks long, smooth, with a blueish tinge. ; bunches 

 long, with large shoulders; berries large, round, even size, of a very 

 black color when fully ripe — a very high flavored grape.

 dark; rather small green lobes, not deep, bluntly serrated, downy on 

 the underside ; footstalk shortish, green, smooth ; bunch medium size, 

 compact, berries closely set on the bunch, even size, roundish oval, of 

 a dull, greenish yellow, covered with a thin white bloom — a grape 

 with a very rich saccharine flavor, remarkably early, and excellent 

 for fruiting in pots, being a great and steady bearer. 



24. Muscat Muscadine. — Young wood green; foliage dark green ; 

 lobes various, not very deeply serrated ; footstalk long, pendulous, 

 smooth, with a reddish tinge; bunch rather long; good size, often with 

 two neat shoulders ; berries even size, on long footstalks, loosely set

 sparent, greenish yellow, covered with a thin white bloom, of a fine 

 sweet musky flavor — a free bearer.
