VV ïth thiise who want a very svveet grape, it uüiy uot be as aooeptablo; but tor me it is sweut cnough and is more spr ' ar.d refrcshiüT, and resehibles somo of the best exotio grapes. It ripens along with 1 the Diana, and on t'nis account beconi ■ a i better keeper in Winter th-in the Deia' ware. In short. I ünd no fanlt with it: it is hardy enough, fruit ful, early in ri peiling t-iuster aud berry of gooil size, and ijuality first rato; my pet grape.
