A Note upon the Black Corinth Grape. 247 



The bunch is rather small. The berries are small, roundish, 

 about the size of a pea with sometimes a few much larger ones in- 

 termixed, generally without seeds. The skin is thin, of a deep 

 black colour. The juice is sugary, abundant, without perfume, 

 refreshing and pleasant, but in an undried state, not so high fla- 

 voured as to make it an object of cultivation to any extent for the 

 dessert. The seeds, where they sometimes happen to be found in 

 some of the large berries, are small and obovate, with a somewhat 

 elongated neck. 



Bears freely under glass, producing from three to five bunches at 

 each shoot, and is well adapted for forcing in pots ; great heat 

 seems not to be necessary, for it has succeeded well, in light soil, 

 against a south wall in Sir Herbert Taylor's garden at Fan- 

 grove near Chertsey. The fruit ripened there somewhat earlier 

 than other sorts in the same situation.
