NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES. 83 



GRIZZLY FRONTIGNAC. PR. CAT. No. 81. 

 Muscat gris. 



I describe this grape separately, merely because some En- 

 glish authors have done so, and in order to elicit inquiry, and 

 to settle the point of accuracy hereafter. Duhammel does 

 not enumerate such a variety, neither, is it named by the 

 standard French authors, but one that does mention it omits 

 the muscat rouge. Is it not, therefore, reasonable to consider 

 this synonymous with the red variety, although Miller, For- 

 syth, Speechly, and half a score of other English authors con- 

 tinue to enumerate it ? Speechly describes it thus : berries 

 somewhat larger than the white frontignac, round, colour 

 brown and red intermixed with yellow ; which description 

 seems to apply to the red variety when ripened in a shady situ- 

 ation. A very intelligent horticulturist at Boston told me he 

 had vainly endeavoured to distinguish any difference. It is at 

 maturity in September.
