Muscat. 



VITIS VINIFERA. EUROPE. 



LEAVES. Regular, bright green, glabrous, teeth sharp, 

 clean cut; small teeth distributed around 

 the teeth situated at the prolongation of 

 the veins. 



UPPER PORTION OF GROWING SHOOT. Bronzed, 



shiny. 



Apex slightly whitish. 



The Muscats constitute a rather homogeneous group, 

 characterized essentially by the taste of the grapes. Inde- 

 pendently of the grapes, the dentation of the leaves and the 

 bronze colour of the growing apex enables them to be dis- 

 tinguished. The slight pubescence of the leaves* gives them 

 a certain resemblance to Chasselas. Bat the Chasselas 

 leaves are of a leaden colour, the teeth more rounded, and 

 the growing apex is never whitish. 



* The Muscat of Hamburg is less glabrous than other Muscats.
