Account of a New Seedling Grape. 123 



first bunches were cut in July, while its second crop was 

 yet young. The second was cut in the end of August and 

 September, and those now sent, which had not shewn 

 themselves in July, are a part of the third. This will serve 

 to satisfy you that the plant is a remarkably free bearer, 

 and its produce, in point of size, both of bunch and berry, 

 is not inferior to that of the Old Muscat. By all who have 

 tasted the fruit it has been allowed to surpass that variety in 

 flavour* 



I am, Sir, 

 your very obedient Servant, 



Henry Burn. 



Tottenham Park, near Marlborough, 

 December 6, 1824. 



Note by the Secretary. 



Fruit of the Vine described above, was exhibited at the 

 Meeting of the Society on the 6th of July, and again on the 

 7th of December, 1824. The bunches first shewn were of 

 good size, the berries resembling those of the Old Muscat of 

 Alexandria, but they were larger, and of superior flavour. It is 

 proposed to call it the Tottenham Park Muscat Grape, in 

 order to record its origin.
