240 1'HE VINEYARD. [March. 
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. Cat's Grafie. 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 St. Peter's Grafie. This has a pretty large berry, inclin- 
ing 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 produces 
large shouldered bunches, and the leaves are much more divided 
than those of most other sorts. 
31. The Black Grafie from Palestine. This appears nearly simi- 
lar to the preceding, but may probably be a distinct variety. 
32. The White parsley leaved Grafie, 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 Grafie. 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 Grafie. The berries of this variety are of a mo- 
derate size, rather inclining to an oval figure, of a bluish white co- 
lour, and grow close, forming moderate-sized handsome bunches. 
The leaves grow on very short foot stalks, and bear a resemblance 
to those of the Sweet- Water. It is a delicate and justly esteemed 
fruit. 
35. The White Corinth Grafie. 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, are transparent, so that the seeds appear very 
distinctly. 
36. The White Muscat of Lunel. The berries of this, are 
large and oval, and, when perfectly ripe, are of a fine amber colour, 
somewhat clouded with brown or russet, especially on the side next 
the sun. The skin is thin, and the flesh delicate, replete with a 
vinous juice. As this grape is a very plenliful bearer, and forms 
pretty large bunches, it may justly be deemed a valuable sort. 
37. The Red Chasselaa or Chasselas Rouge, is very like the 
Chasselas Blanc, No. 6, in size and shape, but is of a dark red co- 
lour. It is a very good grape, but ripens la,ter than the white.
