Narrative
Type = American Hybrid. Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine usually more vigorous than Concord, sometimes sustains winter injury, productive, susceptible to mildew. Leaves medium to large, rather thick; upper surface dark green, older leaves strongly rugose, glossy; lower surface pale green, strongly pubescent; veins distinct. Flowers fully self-fertile, open in mid-season; stamens upright. Fruit ripens afer mid-season, keeps and ships well. Clusters large to medium, broad to medium, irregularly cylindrical, single-shouldered to frequently double-shouldered, loose to medium. Berries variable in size, roundish to oblate, dark green changing to yellowish-amber, glossy, covered with thin gray bloom, persistent, of medium firmness. Skin thin, tender, adheres considerably to the pulp, contains no pigment, not astringent. Flesh pale green, transparent, juicy and tender, somewhat stringy, aromatic, sweet, ranks above Concord in quality." Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "Vine a rank grower, very vigorous, short-jointed; leaves large, roundish, coarsely serrated, occasionaly loved, thick and downy, luxuriant and healthy, but inclined to mildew. Bunches large, shouldered, often double-shouldered, moderately compact; berries fully medium in size, round; skin pale amber, yellowish with a delicate rosy tint where exposed to the sun, having a thin whitish bloom; flesh tender, juicy, sweet, of very good quality and delicate aroma. Ripens usually soon after Concord. A most beautiful variety."
