agreeable and delicate fruit. The leaves change from green to a 
russet-red early in summer, and die a deep red in autumn. 
.27. The Large Black Cluster, or Lisbon Grape. The berries are 
large and grow more oval than the two former varieties, which are 
black, and not so delicate, the juice being of a harsh and rough taste. 
The leaves in autumn, when on the decline, change to a beautiful 
bright scarlet. This is the grape of which the red port wine is 
made. 
28. The White Morillon. This has an oval white berry, of a 
moderate size, with thin skin and delicate juicy flesh. It grows 
close on the bunches, which are small. The leaves are soft, being 
greatly covered with down on the under side, somewhat similar to 
the genuine Tokay grape, to which it appears nearly allied. 
29. Cafs Grape. This has a small oval berry, of a greenish- 
white colour, with a thin skin and soft juicy flesh. The berries grow 
close, forming small bunches. The taste of this fruit before it is 
quite matured is disagreeable; but when perfectly ripe is very sweet 
and pleasing to some palates. 
30. The *S7. Feter^s Grape. This has a pretty large berry, in- 
clining to an oval form, and of a deep black colour when ripe; the 
skin is thin, and the flesh very delicate and juicy. This vine pro- 
duces large shouldered bunches, and the leaves are much more 
divided than those of most other sorts. 
31. The Black Grape from Palestine. This appears nearly 
similar to the preceding, but may probably be a distinct variety. 
32. The White parsley-leaved Grape, or Ciotat. This is a variety 
of the parsley-leaved grape. The berries are round, white, of a 
moderate size, with thin skins and delicate juicy flesh, which is 
very sweet but not of a vinous flavour. The branches are of a 
pretty good size, almost similar to the white Muscadine. The leaves 
are finely divided, differing from any other sort. There is a variety 
of the parsley-leaved grape which produces red berries. 
33. The Black Lisbon Grape. This has a large globular berry, 
black, thin skinned and juicy. It has also large shouldered bunches, 
which not a little resembles the black Hamburgh. This is a good 
grape. 
34. The Greek Grape. The berries of this variety are of a 
moderate size, rather inclining to an oval figure, of a bluish-white 
colour, and grow close, forming moderate sized handsome bunches. 
The leaves grow on very short foot stalks, and bear a resemblance 
to those of the Siveet-Water. It is a delicate and justly esteemed 
fruit. 
55. The White Corinth Grape. This has a white, round berry, 
rather small, with a thin skin and very delicate juicy flesh, of an 
agreeable flavour. The bunches too are rather small. The berries, 
when perfectly ripe, arc transparent, so that the seeds appear very 
distinctly. 
36. The WJiite Muscat of Lunel. The berries of this arc large 
and oval, and when perfectly ripe are of a fine amber colour, some- 
what clouded with brown or russet, especially on the side next the 
sun. The skin is thin and the flesh delicate, replete with a vinous
