Grapes; Viticulture -- New York (State)

Fruit ripens earlier than Concord, does not keep well, as the
     berries soon shrivel. Clusters not especially satisfactory in
     general appearance, variable in size, short to medium, rather
     broad, somewhat cylindrical, irregular, rarely shouldered, compact
     to medium; peduncle short, slender; pedicel nearly short, of
     average thickness, covered with numerous warts, enlarged at point
     of attachment to berry; brush rather long, light yellowish-green.
     Berries medium to large, variable in shape ranging from oval to
     roundish, dull pale red or dark amber, covered with thin lilac or
     faint blue bloom, often inclined to drop when overripe, soft. Skin
     unusually thick, somewhat tender, adheres slightly to pulp,
     contains no pigment, slightly astringent. Flesh greenish,
     translucent, juicy, rather fine-grained and tough, very foxy,
     moderately sweet to decidedly acid at center, inferior in quality.
     Seeds adherent, two to five in number averaging three, large to
     below medium, broad to medium, light brown; raphe shows only as a
     groove; chalaza intermediate in size, oval, above center, rather
     distinct and in a depression.
