and hard flesh. As this species is a very plentiful 

 bearer, and forms large bunches, it is much admired 

 by some, but is not so valuable as either of the 

 two preceding kinds. * 



21. malvoise, or Blue Tokay. 



The berries of this species are small, rather 

 inclining to an oval figure, and of a brown colour. 

 The skin is thin and the flesh delicate, replete with 

 a vinous juice ; and the berries are powdered with 

 a blue bloom. *t 



22. GENUINE TOKAY. 



This is a white grape. The berries incline to 

 an oval figure, and grow rather close on the bunch, 

 which is of a moderate size. The skin is thin and 

 flesh delicate, abounding with a very agreeable juice. 

 This species is very distinguishable by the foliage, 

 the underside of the leaf being covered with a fine 

 soft down, having the appearance of satin. This 

 species was sent to his Grace the Duke of Portland, 

 from Hungary, some years ago. # t 



23. Lombard y, or Flame-coloured Tokay., 



This has a large round berry, of a beautiful 

 flame colour. The bunches are regularly formed 

 with shoulders, and frequently arrive to the weight 

 of six or seven pounds. The leaves are much 

 more divided than most other sorts; and the upper 

 surface is of a deep green colour. This is by some 

 called the Rhenish Grape.*t
