CATALOGUE THIRD. 



The following is the Catalogue of the National Col- 

 lection of Vines in the Garden of the Luxemburg at 

 Paris. They are arranged according to the colour of the 

 grape, and its form. Of the 570 varieties which it com- 

 prises, 433 were obtained from the Botanic Garden of 

 Montpelier, and 110 from the Garden of Luxemburg at 

 Paris. After a careful examination, it has been ascer- 

 tained that at this date (Jan. 22, 1833) 362 varieties are 

 alive, and, for the most part, healthy. The rest are 

 dead, but, as before stated, it is hoped their places will 

 be supphed by the duplicates now on their way to the 

 Colony. Of the 362 varieties, both cuttings of 157 are 

 alive, and only one cutting of each of the remaining 205. 



The Professor of Botany at Montpelier had been able 

 to identify, or class, many of those varieties which are 

 unnamed in the original Catalogue, and many of its 

 voids are accordingly filled up in this. The varieties 

 thus ascertained are distinguished by being inserted in 

 italics.
