Narrative
Type = American Hybrid. Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine weak to moderately vigorous, hardy, medium in productiveness, healthy. Leaves medium to below in size, of average thickness. Flowers fertile, open in mid-season. Fruit ripens with Winchell, does not keep well. Clusters not uniform, small to above medium, short, slender, cylindrical, sometimes single-shouldered, compact to straggling. Berries variable in size, large to below medium, roundish, light green, often with tinge of yellow, glossy, covered with thin gray bloom, persistent, firm. Skin covered with small, scattering, dark dots, inclined to crack, thin, tender, adheres slightly to the pulp, contains no pigment, slightly astringent. Flesh greenish-white, translucent, juicy, tender, aromatic, agreeably sweet from skin to center, very good in quality." Per Munson (see citation): "Vine a weak grower and shy bearer, cluster medium, compact; berry large, yellowish-white, globular, skin very tender, easily cracks, subject to rot, quality the best of any Conord seedling; very early, unprofitable." Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "One of the best early white grapes...It is unsuited for distant shipping and rough handling. It is a pure Concord seedling, and has almost the vigor, health and hardiness of its parent; is free from mildew, but subject to rot. The vine, in its habit of growth, foliage and general appearance, is similiar to Concord, requires a good fertile soil to bear well, but will overbear if not thinned. The vines survive without injury severe cold winters. In quality it is better flavored and more delicate than Concord. In color, light greenish-yellow, covered with white bloom. Seed few and small; skin thin; pulp tender; flavor sweet, slightly vinous, and the foxy aroma of its class considerably chastened down. Although extra early in ripening, it is late in starting its buds in spring, and thereby escapes the evil effects of late spring frosts."
