Narrative
Type = American Hybrid. Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine variable in vigor and productiveness, usually hardy and healthy. Leaves not uniform in size, nearly dark green. Flowers almost sterile, open medium late. Fruit ripens from a week to ten days earlier than Concord, keeps well. Clusters variable in size and length, often single-shouldered, not uniform in compactness. Berries above medium to small, roundish, greenish-yellow to slightly golden yellow, covered with thin gray bloom, persistent. Skin thin, tender, covered with few small reddish-brown dots. Flesh fine-grained, tender vinous, sweet at skin to agreeably tart at center, rather mild, good in quality." Per Munson (see citation): "Every way much like Martha, except less foxy and of some better quality. Too light a bearer to be profitable." Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "Vine hardy and a vigorous grower, moderately prolific, free from mildew; bunch medium, moderately compact, partly shouldered; berry medium, globular, with a fine amber-yellow color; slightly whitish blossom, skin very firm; flesh tender, juicy, of a delicate texture and fine flavor, free from foxiness. Ripens from 7 to 8 days before Concord, yet holds its leaves after those of most other varieties are killed with frost. Should be planted in localities where the summer heat is comparatively limited."
