45. WHITE PARSLEY-LEAVED GRAPE, OR CIOTAT. 



This is a species of the parsley-leaved grape. 

 The berries are round, white, of a moderate size, 

 with thin skins and delicate juicy flesh, which is 

 very sweet, but not of a vinous flavour. The 

 bunches are of a pretty good size, almost similar 

 to the White Muscadine. The leaves are finely 

 divided, differing from any other sort. — There is 

 a species of the Parsley-leaved Grape which pro- 

 duces red berries, t 



46. BLACK LISBON. 



This has a large globular berry, black, thin- 

 skin'd, and juicy. It has also large-shouldered 

 bunches, which not a little resemble the Black 

 Hamburgh. It is a pretty good grape, but scarce 

 in this country. *t 



47. GREEK GRAPE. 



The berries of this species are of a moderate 

 size, rather inclining to an oval figure, of a bluish 

 white colour, and grow close, forming moderate- 

 sized handsome bunches. The leaves grow on 

 very short foot-stalks, and bear a resemblance to 

 those of the Sweetwater. It is a delicate and 

 justly-esteemed fruit. *t
