52. The New Muscat of Jerusalem was introduced by 

 Mr. Philip INIiller, a vine of which is now in the Botanic 

 Gardens at Chelsea. It has large round ben-ies of a red co- 

 our ; some of which I have, in line seasons, seen as large as 

 a gooseberry ; but, as it does not ripen well on the natural 

 wall in this country, it might be worth while to try it in a hot- 

 house, or vinery. It was introduced here about thirtj'-six years 

 ago. h. V.
