 This is a round Grape, with a thin skin, and of a delicate fla- 

 vour. It is a great bearer, and resembles the White Sweet

 of August.

 hatif. — This is a small round fruit, of pleasant flavour, and 

 grows in very compact bunches; it is a good bearer, and 

 ripens in August.

 juice ; the berries on the sides of the branches next the sun 

 are often clouded v/ith spots of a russet colour. This Grape 

 flourishes admirably in our cities, where large quantities are 

 annually sold in the shops; some bunches which grew in the 

 garden of Edward Probyn, Esq. during the summer of 1821,

 and was 17 inches in girth ; in fine seasons it succeeds in the
