48. WHITE CORINTH GRAPE. 



This has rather a small white round berry, with 

 a thin skin, and very delicate juicy flesh, of an 

 agreeable flavour. The bunches too are rather

 deemed a valuable sort, though at present but 

 little known in this country. *t 



50. cornichon. 



This is a remarkable-formed grape. The berries 

 are above one inch and a half long, their breadth 

 not half an inch. They taper from the stalk, (but 

 not in a regular manner) and end in a blunt point, 

 according to the French, something like a horn : 

 but its figure is more like the long end of a small 

 fish's bladder. The berries are white, with a thick 

 skin and a firm sweet flesh. *

 seedling grapes that have borne fruit; one of them 

 is the produce of the Black Frontinac, impreg-
