east ; the Aramon, Carignane, Olivette, Spiran, from the South ; 
the Malheck and Semillon, from the South-west ; the Melon, 
Pidsard, Valet hlanc et rose, Savagnin, Trouss6, from the Jura 
district ; the Mourvedre and Clairette or Blmiquette, from the 
Ohvier district ; the Agostenga or Vert de Madere, from the 
Alpine district ; the Malvoisie, from Spain and Italy, &c. 
From the vineyards in the Ampuis plain, at the foot of the 
Cote-Rotie, are exported the Ligiian hlanc variety, which ripens 
at the same time as Chasselas, whereas the growers in the 
H^rault district cultivate the Fortugais bleu. 
In our own vineyards we are beginning to propagate one 
called Gamai de juillet, found in a vineyard in the neighbour- 
hood of Londreville, the rich Vine district of the Aube, so well 
known to consumers in the neighbourhood, and also to the 
Bordeaux merchants. This variety ripens before that of the 
different kinds of Morillon, Madeleine, and Ischia ; and will 
grow well in cold places, and spots exposed to the early autumn 
fogs. 
Besides those vineyards which are cultivated solely for wine- 
making purposes, there are others grown entirely for supply- 
ing Grapes for direct consumption. Without mentioning the 
cultivation of large Grapes in the South — the Pause Grape 
for preserving purposes, the Muscat d'Alexandrie for drying — 
it will be quite sufficient if we mention, among other things, 
the sum of 20,000 francs realised recently by a grower at 
Meyreuil, in Provence, for his Clairette and Olivette Grapes 
consigned to the Paris market. The Bordeaux markets are 
glutted with Malhech Grapes, whilst the choice Medoc vine- 
yards, and also those at Toulouse, produce more of the Boudalds 
or Prunelas, a variety much appreciated in Languedoc, where 
it is known by the name of Cinsau. Another variety often 
confused with the BcudaUs is the Ulliade, which is taken 
straight from the vines to the consumer's table, as its thin skin 
does not allow of much carriage. 
During September and October Nice receives weekly as 
much as 200,000 kilos, of Grapes, sent by steamer from Corsica. 
The pick of this will sell at once for from 22 to 21 francs per 
100 kilos. In 1B79 the Nice wine merchants went to Corsica 
to make their wine on the island, and paid for tliQ Grapes on 
the spot the aum of 10 francs per 100 kilos.
