Abstract
A grapevine particularly characterized by its grapes which are generally similar to those of the Muscat of Alexandria (unpatented) Grapevine, having the physical characteristics similar to the Muscat of Alexandria, but from which it is distinguished by a date of ripening which is 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than the Muscat of Alexandria and furthermore by producing clusters of grapes which are well-filled and neither compact nor straggling in appearance, as is characteristic of the Muscat of Alexandria variety.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of grapevine, I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of grapevine to be known as the "Gar Muscat", substantially as illustrated and described, characterized principally by its production of grapes which mature approximately 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than the Muscat of Alexandria Grapevine, which it most nearly resembles, but from which it is distinguished by clusters that are well-filled, neither compact nor straggling in appearance.
