174 FRUIT GARDEN COMPANION. 



6. White Muscat of Alexandria. 

 This is one of the most highly esteemed varieties 

 of musk-flavored grape, and surpassed by none when 

 well grown and ripened. It is, however, a shy 

 bearer, and cannot be recommended for general cul- 

 tivation. It requires considerable heat, and should 

 be planted in the warmest end of the house. The 

 bunches are long, and generally thin of berries, 

 which are large, oval, and yellow, when well rip- 

 ened.
