August Muscat ( Muscat d’Aout).— Berries medium 
sized, round, inclining to oval. Skin deep purple. Flesh 
j very rich and juicy, with a slight Muscat aroma. An 
early grape, ripening about the end of August. The 
' vine forms a dwarf bush, and on that account is well 
; adapted for pot culture, but it is a delicate grower. It 
ripens against a wall.

Babbaeossa (Brizzola; Bossea; Prince Albert ).— 
Bunches twelve to eighteen inches long, shouldered, 
tapering, and compact. Berries round, inclining to oval. 
Skin tough, but not thick, of a deep black colour, covered 
with thin bloom. Flesh tender, juicy, and of good flavour, 
though not rich. A valuable late grape, hanging all the 
winter; and requires the aid of artifleial heat to ripen it. 
The vine is a bad bearer, except in poor soils.

Aleppo (Striped Muscadine; Variegated Chasselas; 
Chasselas Panache; Morillon Panache; Baisin d'Alep; 
Baisin Suisse). —Bunches medium sized, loose, and not 
shouldered. Berries medium sized, round, of various 
colours, some being black, others white or red, while 
some are striped with black, or red and white ; sometimes 
a bunch will be half white and half black ; and others 
are wholly white or wholly black. The flesh is inferior 
in flavour. The vine succeeds in a warm vinery, but 
requires the hothouse to bring it to perfection. The 
leaves are striped with green, red, and yellow. 
Alexandrian Ciotat.— Bunches large, long, and loose, 
with narrow shoulders. Berries oval. Skin thin, pale 
yellow, but becoming of an amber colour as the fruit 
are highly ripened, and covered with numerous russetv 
dots. Flesh firm and breaking, juicy, and well flavoured. 
Bipens with the heat of a vinery. A good bearer, but 
the bunches set badly. 
Alexandrian Frontignan. See Muscat of Alexandria. 
Alicante. —This is a name given to several varieties 
of grapes in the south of France and in the Peninsula, 
but is not applicable to any variety in particular. In 
the department of Gard, it is applied to Gromier du 
Cantal. In Andalusia it is the same as the Tintilla and 
Unto of the same vineyards, the Mourvede of Provence, 
and Mataro of the Eastern Pyrennees. Then the Alicante 
of Bouches-des-Bhone vineyards is the Granaxa of Arra- 
gon, and Granache of Eastern Pyrennees; while, in the 
neighbourhood of Alicante, the name is given to two or 
three different sorts. In Great Britain, Black Prince \ 
and Black St. Peter s are sometimes called Alicante; ] 
but a distinct variety from all the above, being sent to 
me simply under the name of Alicante, I have, to dis¬ 
tinguish it, called it Kempsey Alicante, which see. 
Alicantweine. See Black Prince. 
Bidw'ell’s Seedling. —This variety, raised at Exeter, 
has a considerable resemblance to Black Prince, of which 
it is probably another form. It ripens very well against 
a wall in the west of England by the end of October. 
Blaek Alicante. See Black Prince. 
Black Burgundy. See Black Cluster. 
Black Champion ( Champion Hamburgh). —Bunches 
wdth short, thick stalks, not shouldered, thickly set. 
Berries large, roundish-oval. Skin thin, black, or dark 
purple, covered with fine thin bloom. Flesh tender, but 
somewhat firm, very juicy, rich, and sweet; having rarely 
any stones, or more than one. This is about a fortnight 
earlier than Black Hamburgh in the same house, and 
always colours better and more freely than that variety ; 
the berry is also more oval, and the wood shorter jointed. 
Bipens in a cool vinery. 
Black Cluster [Auvergne; Auvernat; Black Burgundy; 
Black Morillon; Burgundy; Blauer C/avner; Parly Black; 
Morillon Noir; Pineau; Schwarzer Biessling).— Bunches 
small, very compact, cylindrical, and occasionally 
shouldered. Berries generally oval, inclining to roundish. 
Skin thin, blue-black, covered with blue bloom. Flesh 
juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. Bipens well against 
a wall in the open air, and is one of the best for this pur¬ 
pose. The bunches are larger than those of Miller’s 
Burgundy. This is one of the varieties most extensively 
cultivated for wine on the Bhine and the Moselle, and it 
also furnishes the greater part of the Champagne and 
Burgundy wines. 
Black Constantia. See Purple Constantia. 
Black Coeinth ( Currant; Corinthe Noir; Passolina 
Nera; Aiga Passera; Zante). —Bunches compact, small, 
and short. Berries small and round, not larger than a 
pea, with some larger ones interspersed. Skin thin, 
black, and covered with blue bloom. Flesh juicy, sweet, 
richly flavoured, and without stones. Ilequires the heat 
of a vinery. This variety furnishes the “ Currants ” of 
commerce. 
Black Damascus (Worksop Manor). —Bunches large 
and loose. Berries large and round, interspersed with 
others of small size, bkin thin, but tough, of a deep 
blaek colour. Flesh juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. 
A first-rate late grape, requiring the heat of a hothouse 
to bring it to perfection. 
Black Frontignan ( Muscat Noir; Muscat Noir 
Ordinaire ; Sir William Bowley’s Black). — Bunches 
pretty large, cylindrical, somewhat loose, and occasion-
