OF THE CULTURE

which is large. The leaves of this grape are large, and more- 
thick and fucculent than thofe of any other fort, and have 
fomething of the appearance of green leather.^ 
42. EARLY WHITE GRAPE FROM TENERIF. 
The berries of this fpecies are round, white, and of a mo- 
derate fize, with thin Ikins, and delicate juicy flefh of amex- 
traordinary fweetnefs. The berries and bunches much refem- 
ble the common Mufcadine, to which it appears to have a 
near affinity. -f:}; 
43. ST. Peter’s grape. 
This has a pretty large berry, nearly globular in figure, and 
of a black colour ; the fkin is thin, and the flefli very delicate 
and juicy. This Vine produces large bunches, but as the berries 
are very fubjedl to crack, it is net generally planted in forcing- 
houfes. The leaves are much more divided than thofe of 
moft other forts. -f* 
44. BLACK GRAPE FROM PALESTINE. 
This appears nearly fimilar to the preceding. But I have 
only feen two bunches of this grape, the produdl of a plant 
growing the lafi fummer in a pot, and engrafted laft fpring ; 
and though its fituation was in the Hot-houfe, not a fingle 
berry cracked in either of the bunches ; it may probably, 
therefore, be a diftind: fpecies.
