GRIZ/LY FRONTIGNAC. Ib. MUSCAT ROUGE. Bon Jard. 

 The bunches are rather large, long, and moderately 

 compact ; the berries are pretty large, around, of a red color, 

 and of a high vinous and musky flavor. This variety

 not so high-flavored as that variety, it is more esteemed ia 

 France than the Violet and Black Muscat.

RED MUSCAT OF ALEXANDRIA. According to Hort. Sac. Cat. 

 It resembles the White, except in regard to color. The 

 bunches are rather large, and shouldered; the berries 

 rather large, oval, of a red color ; the skin is thick ; the 

 flesh firm, juicy, saccharine, musky, and high-flavored. 

 Bradley calls this one of the very best of grapes. It is also 

 said to be more esteemed about Paris than the White Mus- 

 cat ; it ripens there on walls ; here it requires a house.
