THE GRAPE. 
siderably cultivated, and much esteemed in the vineyards, 
making a wine much resembling Madeira. It was received there 
from the east, under this name, and we think, may very proba- 
bly be a seedling from one of the Pineau or Burgundy grapes. 
It is not very productive, and makes little wood. The latter is 
greyish, spotted with dark brown specks, short jointed, buds in 
clusters, double and triple. Leaves deeply cut, trilobed. 
Bunches loose, and of moderate size. Berries small, round. 
Skin thin, almost black, with very little bloom. Flesh tender, 
with little pulp, sweet, and pleasant, but inferiour to the Ohio 
for the table. 
Norton’s Virginia. Prin. Ken. 
Norton’s Seedling. 
A native seedling, produced by a cross between the Bland 
and Miller’s Burgundy, by Dr. N. Norton, of Bichmond, Vir- 
ginia. It is a most productive grape in garden or vineyard, 
bearing very large crops (especially at the south, where many 
kinds rot,) in all seasons. It has been confounded by some 
with Ohio grape, from which it is quite distinct, more pulpy, 
and less agreeable for the dessert, though, probably, a much 
better wine grape. 
Bunches long, sometimes eight or nine inches, occasionally 
shouldered, somewhat compact. Berries small, round. Skin 
thin, dark purple. Flesh pulpy, with a brisk, rather rough fla 
vour. The foliage is light coloured, shaped like the Edinburgh. 
Shoots strong and hardy. 
Northern Muscadine. 
Baised by the Shakers at New Lebanon, Columbia Co. N. Y. 
Bunches small, short, compact. Berry large, round, choco- 
late or brownish red. Skin thick, with a pungency and odour 
common to the wild fox grape, and is a very little, if any, im- 
provement on it. The berries fall from the bunch as soon as 
ripe, which is about two weeks before Isabella. 
Ohio. 
Segar Box Grape. Longworth’s Ohio. 
Jack. 
This grape, which has recently attracted a good deal of at- 
tention, has a rather singular history. The cuttings, from 
which all the present stock has originated, were left in a segar 
box, at the residence of N. Longworth, Esq., Cincinnati, Ohio, 
during his absence from home, by some person who was no.
