The berries of this fpecies are large and oval, and, when 
perfedly ripe, are of a fine amber colour, fometimes clouded'

fifli’s bladder. The berries are white, with a thick fkin and 
a firm fweet flefh.^ 
I might add to the foregoing lift, two or three feedling

and may be confidered as a valuable fort. The berries are 
black, like its parent, but the bunches are compofed of un- 
equally-fized berries, like the Sweetv/ater, and ripen early in 
the feafon. 
I have not attempted to place the various forts in the fore- 
going lift, according to the due order of their ripening, becaule
