CATALOGUE FIRST.. 



[The vines in this Catalogue are arranged in the order in which they were 

 received by Mr. Busby, and described to him, with the exception of eight 

 varieties of rooted plants at the end of the list.] 



Vmes of Rousillon, Jrom the Vineyards of M. Durand, 

 of Perfignan. 



No. 1. Carignan, — Crignane Cavoleau,— black, with a 

 thick skin, deeply coloured, yields largely. This 

 grape by itself would produce a dry wine. Cavo- 

 leau says of this grape, that it is rich in saccharine 

 matter, although harsh to the taste, and very 

 mucilaginous. 



No. Grenache — black, skin very thick, but yielding 

 less colour than that of the preceding. This 

 grape by itself would yield a sweet wine. Cavo- 

 leau adds of this grape, that it is rich in saccharine 

 matter, and strongly impregnated with aroma. 



— 3. Mataro — black, skin less thick, but yielding a 

 good deal of colour. This grape yields the most 

 abundantly, and of itself would give a dry wine. 

 Cavoleau observes, that this is the only vine of 

 the province that yields annual, and almost equal, 

 vintages ; the other varieties sometimes yield abun- 

 dantly, but their produce is uncertain. 



Note. — The above three varieties are, in general, equally dis- 

 tributed in the vineyards of the department of Pyrenees 

 Orientales, and furnish the wine of exportation known by the 

 name of Vin de Rousillon.
