Huasco Seedless. " These cuttings represent the very best grown in the 

 Huaseo or Vallenar district. I would advise, however, that the seedless raisin 

 comes rather from the exuberant growth of the plant than from a distinct 

 species. Owing to the excessive quantity of grapes on the bunch, only some 

 become full grown and the stunted ones only are mostly seedless." (Kerr.)
