IV. GRAPEVINE with medium-sized rounded white musky grapes. 

 Musk CHASSELAS. 



This grapevine's leaves are smaller & darker green than those of the golden 

 Chasselas. The indentations aren't as deep and their denticulation is sharper. The large 

 lobe is four inches long & the two middle ones are three-&-a-half inches. The stalk is 

 three-&-a-half to four inches long. 



The grapes are round, about the same size as those of the golden Chasselas. Their 

 skin is firm like that of the Chasselas & but not crisp like the Muscat's. It's greenish white 

 & doesn't turn amber like the Chasselas. The flesh is white verging on green. The juice is 

 plentiful, sweet, & musky. The seeds (usually two) are small, gray, and gourd-shaped. 



This grape ripens at the end of September about fifteen days later than the golden 

 Chasselas. Although it's of lesser quality than the white Muscat, it has the advantage that 

 it ripens completely in our climate. 



V. GRAPEVINE with laciniate leaves and medium-sized rounded white grapes. 

 CIOUTAT. CIOTAT. Austria GRAPE. (Pi. II.) 



This grapevine is a bit smaller than the Chasselas. Its shoots are a light yellow 

 wood-color, & the nodes aren't very far apart from one another. 



The leaves are palmate, laciniate in five divisions. The stalk, about three or four 

 inches long, divides at the end into five petioles; sometimes they separate from each other 

 at their origin. Sometimes all, or only some of them, are joined
