No. VI. Le Cceur Grape, or Morocco Grape. 

 This is quite a fancy Grape, fetid its few merits are made 

 almost too much of by Mr. Speeciily. One plant in a 

 large collection will be found quite enough. It is slow and 

 stunted in its growth, and very shy in its produce, bearing a 

 sickly appearance at almost all seasons. The bunches are 

 short, with small BtifF shoulders. It is a late (J rape, and 

 the small berries are generally ripe and decayed before the 

 large ones ; so that before it gets to the table the bunches 

 have a scraggy disagreeable appearance, and but few berries 

 on them. The flavour is rich and musky ; it is very unfit for 

 package or carriage, by reason of its short rigid footstalks. 

 There was one Vine of this kind planted as a principal by 

 Mr. Speechly, which was justly expelled many years since. 

 The Grizzly Frontignac is by far preferable. 



No. VII. Golden Galician. 

 I never saw this Grape since 1786, when it was in fruit in 

 a pot ; it was only grown in pots at this place, and was put 

 out of the collection long before 1801. 



No. VIII. Black Muscadel, 

 Stands well described by Mr. Speeciily, and is a tolerably 

 good Grape. It forms a handsome contrast engrafted on the 

 White Muscat of Alexandria, their habits of growth, &c. are 

 in unison. The small berries ripen before the large ones. It 

 has been put out of this collection some years. It is now 

 cultivated in some places under the name of the Mogul 

 Grape ; by Mr. Speechly it was cultivated under both 

 names.
