row, without shoulders, rather closely set, of a dull white, or greenish yellow, and covered with a powdering bloom, juice very sugary and rich, with a delightful spicy flavour. It ripens in September and delights in a dry soil.

White Hamburg, White Lisbon, White Portugal. Bunches very large, short, and loosely formed: berries large and oval, skin thick, of a greenish white colour, flesh firm, juice sweet, slightly mixed with acid, one of our latest white grapes. The plant is of a strong robust habit, and an excellent bearer.

Austrian Muscat. Bunches large and tapering: berries round, of a russet white colour, skin thin, juice rich and musky, and of excellent flavour. It ripens about the second week of September, and is an excellent bearer.

Black Frontignac, Violet Frontignac, Muscat Noir.Bunches small and short: berries round, and grow close in bunches, skin black, covered with a fine light bloom, flesh tender and juicy, of a rich vinous spicy flavour.

Black Hamburg. Bunches tolerably large, with short compact shoulders, tapering to a point: berries large of an oval form, skin rather thick, very nearly black, and covered with a blue bloom; flesh tender, sweet, and of a rich vinous flavour: ripens about the first of October; but will hang on the vine till frost. This is, in every respect, one of the finest black grapes that can be grown in the open air: it is also a constant bearer. The leaves in the fall are mottled with green and yellow.

Black Prince. Bunches rather long and generally shouldered: berries oval and of a good size; skin rather thick, of a dark purple, and covered with a thick bloom; flesh white, sweet, juicy, and well-flavoured: ripe about the first of October.

flavour, is perfectly ripe about the middle of October, and will keep on the vines till frost.

Frankendale. Bunches large with small shoulders, and rather longer than the Black Hamburg: berries round and closely set; skin deep purple, approaching to black, covered with a thin blue bloom; flesh tender, sweet, rich, and of a luscious flavour: it is a great bearer, and fully ripe about the end of September or first of October.

Grizzly Frontignac, Muscat Gris. Bunches of a medium size, with small shoulders: berries round, of a light brown colour, intermixed with red and yellow; the juice is exceedingly rich, and possesses a high spicy flavour: it ripens about the middle of September.
