OF THE CULTURE 



the berries on the sides of the bunches, next the 

 sun, are clouded with spots of a russet colour, and 

 they are then generally most admirable. This 

 grape is propagated in the Forcing-houses in Hol-

 Dutch called Parel druyf. *tt 



17. BLACK SWEETWATER*

 than the former, are black, grow in small short

 crack, it is an improper grape to be propagated in 

 a Hot-house, ft 



18. black hamburgh, or Warner's Grape, 



The berries of this species are large, inclining 

 to an oval figure, and of a black colour. They 

 hang loosely on the bunch, and compose well-

 being a good-flavoured fruit and a plentiful bearer. # t 



19. red hamburgh, or Gibraltar Grape. 



The berries of this sort are of a dark red, with 

 thin skins and juicy delicate flesh. The size and 

 figure of both the berry and bunch are nearly like
