25. French Chocolate coloured.—This was “pecenned from 
France about thirty years since; the vine is of very vigorous 
growth, and a great bearer, and seems to suit our climate 
well, and to be as hardy as our native wild Grapes; the fruit 
is oval, ofa sprightly flavour, and the bunches large; it is an 
excellent Wine Grape, as well as an agreeable one for the 
table; it ripens from the middle to the end of September.

It has been supposed for many ycars to be a native of Virgi- . 
nia, but I have recently received information, which cannot 
be doubted, through Doctor Norton, of Richmond, that this. 
Grape was introduced many years since into Virginia from 
Italy, by a Mr. Mazzei, and. carried thence to Philadelphia 
by Mr. Bland, and indeed the general aspect of the plant 
proves it to be an Exotic Grape. 
32. White Cornishon, or Cornishon: blanc.—-T he berries 
are very long, and swelled in the middle, not closely set on 
the bunches, but white, sweet, and excellent. 
38. Syrian.—-The berries are large, white, and oval; skin 
thick, flesh firm, and the bunches well formed and enor- 
mously large, sometimes weighing above twelve pounds, and 
making a.most beautiful appearance. Although this Grape 
is inferior to some others, still, as it is very Drones it merits 
a place in-eyery. cae res te
