 rouge, or red Frontiniac. The Ber-

 the former ; but grow much thinner 

 on the Bunches ; it is higher flavour- 

 ed, and, when thorough ripe, is the 

 richeft Grape yet known : but this

 South-earl Afped, otherwile it fel- 

 dom ripens well in England.

 Berries of this Kind are lels than the

 lavour'd ; their Juice is fweet, and

 fearer ; but the Grapes upon the 

 ame Bunch feldom ripen at the fame

 fingly as they ripen.

 This is a large oval Grape of a black- 

 ifn Colour, when ripe ; the Bunches 

 are very large, and make a fine Ap- 

 pearance ; but never ripen well in 

 England. I have known ibme Per- 

 fons who had a great Quantity of 

 this Sort of Grape, \vh ; ch they com- 

 monly cut in the Middle of October, 

 with pretty long Stalks to the Bunch- 

 es, and hung them on Strings in 

 Rows in their Kitchen, at fuch a Di- 

 itance as not to touch each other ; 

 and about ChAfimus thefe Grapes 

 would be fo ripen'd by the Warmth, 

 of the Room, as to eat extremely 

 well.

 pore dulci. Garidel. r T\\cGreek Grape. 

 This is a middle nVd Grape, of a 

 deep-red Colour ; the Skin is very 

 tough, and the Stones are frriaH : 

 this is by many People calPd the 

 Brick Grape. In a kindly Seafon, 

 when thefe Grapes ripen well, they 

 make excellent Wine ; but it muft 

 have a good Wall, otherwise it will 

 not ripen in England.
