We cannot leave this chapter on names without referring to classes of raisins receiving their names from certain localities. Of course, the number of such names may be almost endless. It is, however, only of interest to refer to the principal ones, such as have been known to commerce in former days or are yet known. Thus, we designate as Malagas any of the raisins grown and shipped from Malaga. The Smyrnas (formerly Smirna) are those from Smyrna, in Asia Minor, both sun-dried and dipped raisins; the Alicantes, dipped raisins, from Alicante, in Spain; the Denias, dipped raisins from Denia, in Spain; the Valencias, dipped raisins from Valencia (include Denias); the Lipari, raisins from the Island of Lipari, near Sicily; the Belvideres, from the same island and from the Island of Pantellaria; the Calabrian raisins, from Calabria, in Italy; the Faro raisins, from the port of Faro, in Algarve, Portugal. We have above already referred to the currants, from the town of Corinth and the Grecian Islands, and the Malagas, from Malaga. The latter were also known as “great raisins,” on account of their superior quality. Among the latter we should, of course, count the California raisins; but, unfortunately, our raisin-growers have not until quite recently recognized the necessity of adopting names which should at once show the locality where the raisins are produced. But we will return to this further on. VARIOUS KINDS OF RAISINS. _a._ _Sun-dried_ raisins. 1. _Muscatels_, or Muscats, from Malaga or California. The former, also known at various periods as “Solis,” or sun-dried, or “great raisins,” on account of their very superior qualities. 2. _Currants_, raisins made of the small currant grape, originally from Corinth. 3. _Belvideres_, raisins from Calabria, in Italy, and from the Islands of Lipari and Pantellaria, near Sicily. 4. _Black Smyrna_, properly only a dried grape, not exported to this country. 5. California _Malagas_, made from the Malaga grape. 6. California sun-dried _Sultanas_, made from the Sultana grapes in this State. And, lastly,-- 7. _Seedless Muscatels_, made in California, and being the smallest Muscats separated from the larger seed-bearing berries. 8. _Thompson Seedless_, a new, very promising raisin now being produced in this country from vines imported originally from Constantinople, producing seedless grapes, slightly larger than the Sultanas. 9. _Dried grapes_ of any description, especially wine grapes, exported from this and Mediterranean countries for wine-making to France, England and the Eastern States. _b._ _Dipped_ raisins. 10. _Lexias_, or Dipped Muscatels, from Denia, Valencia, Alicante, in Spain. 11. California Dipped, especially second-crop Muscatels. Proper name not yet established. 12. Smyrnas, which again may be either _Sultanas_, _Chesmes_ or _Elemês_. The first from the Sultana grape, the two latter, the “red” grapes, from Dipped Muscatels.
