 vigorous, and coarse growing. The quality of the fruit is poor, but its size and color

Hunisa. "A large, dark wine-colored and very beautiful table grape, slightly oblong 

 in shape. Flesh firm and fruity; ripens late (November) and has remarkable powers

 withering as it is kept, and the flavor rather improving with age. To my mind it is 

 the best all-round food grape I have ever seen." {Fuller. )
