THE GEAPE. 127 size of the preceding, and the whole bunch so small aa to form but a single mouth-full. Another singular kind, which, however, seldom comes to perfection, is the Cor- nichon* the berries of which are sometimes three times as long as they are broad, and very peculiar in form, having one side convex, so as to resemble capsicums rather than ordinary grapes.
