Narrative

Type = American Hybrid. Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "A sister of Elvira. Raised by Jacob Rommel of Missouri. Vine hardy, but only moderately productive; Rommel says it should be fruited on spurs from old wood; a rather long-jointed strong grower; dark brown wood, with large foliage, somewhat downy beneath. Bunches long, shouldered, moderately compact; berry medium, oblong, pale amber when ripe, skin thin; pulp tender; sweet, juicy and of fine flavor. Ripens later than Concord, and somewhat earlier than Catawaba. A table grape, combining good quality with attractive appearance, but too tender for shipping to distant markets. It seems not to hold its leaves as firmly as other Taylor seedlings." Per Hedrick (see citation): "The same parentage as Elvira; fom Jacob Rommel. Vigorous, hardy, moderately productive; bunches long, shouldered, smoewhat loose; berry medium, oblong, pale amber; pulp tender, sweet, juicy; skin thin; season between Concord and Catawba."
