19. Pitmaston White Cluster. 
A pretty hardy grape, raised in Pitmaston, England, from the 
Black Cluster, ripening rather earlier than the Sweetwater, of 
good quality, and well deserving a place where the foreign grapes 
are cultivated in the open air. 
Bunches of medium size, compact and shouldered. Berries 
middle sized, round. Skin thin, amber colour, occasionally 
tinged with a little russet when fully ripe. Flesh tender, juicy, 
sweet and excellent.

A truly excellent grape in all respects — one of the very best 
for hardy culture in this climate, or for the vinery. It is every- 
where highly esteemed, and is the Chasselas 
par excellence of the French. 
Bunches large, and shouldered. Berries, 
(fig. 94,) larger than those of the Sweetwater, 
round. Skin thin, at first greenish white, 
but turning to an amber colour when fully 
ripe. Flesh tender, with a rich and delicious 
flavour. Ripens here about the 20th of Sep- 
tember. Wood and foliage stronger than 
Royal Muscadine. 
those of the Sweetwater. 
21. Scotch White Cluster. Thomp. 
Blacksmith’s White Cluster. 
This is a new grape, not yet fairly tested in this country, but 
which is likely to prove a valuable one for garden culture, as it 
has the reputation in England of being very hardy, very early, 
and a great bearer. It was raised from the seed by a black- 
smith of Edinburgh in 1812. 
Bunches of middle size, compact. Berries medium sized, 
roundish-oval. Skin white, thin. Flesh tender, juicy, sweet, 
and excellent.
