Narrative
Type = American Hybrid. Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Vine medium to vigorous, usually hardy, healthy, not always productive. Leaves of average size, nearly thick; upper surface light green, dull, moderately smooth; lower surface slightly bronze, downy; veins rather distinct . . . Flowers fertile, opening mid-season or earlier; stamens upright. Fruit ripens a week or more earlier than Concord, keeps fairly well but does not ship well . . . Berries usually below Niagra in size but somewhat variable, roundish to slightly oval, light green, slightly glossy, covered with thin gray bloom, usually rather persistent. Skin unusually thin, tender, adheres to pulp, contains no pigment, slightly astringent. Flesh pale green, translucent, juicy, fine-grained, tender and soft when fully ripe, somewhat foxy, vinous, sweet, good in quality." Per T.V. Munson (see citation): "Vine with Concord character, abundant bearer, cluster full medium, shouldered; berry greenish-white, with thin white bloom; skin thin, tender; flesh juicy, very sweet for this species; pulp tender with few seeds; ripens a week before Concord, and hangs well to bunch." Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation): "Vine vigorous and healthy, equaling it's parent in growth; a good grower, hardy and an abundant bearer. Foliage strong, with no tendency to mildew. Bunches shouldered, compact; clusters of full medium size, both bunch and berry; color light green, with delicate whitish bloom. Skin thin and tender; flesh juicy and remarkably sweet, of fine quality, vinous, with generally but one seed to the berry. Ripens early, a week or more before Concord, and hangs well on the bunch . . . Propagates easily and has been favorably recommended wherever tested."
