DEFINITIONS OF TERMS 
As used in these grades: 
“One variety” means grapes showing the same 
varietal characteristics. 
‘““Waterberry ’”’ means a disease characterized by a 
watery, soft, or flabby condition of the berries. Such 
affected berries are low in sugar content, have tender 
Skins and are very easily crushed. 
“Weak berries” are those which approach a water- 
berry in condition but are not so far advanced or 
affected. 
“ Raisining berries’ means grape berries in a stage 
of normal curing process, which have developed to 
some extent the characteristic shriveled or wrinkled 
appearance of a raisin, but which contain sufficient 
juice to drop from the berry under ordinary pressure 
between thumb and finger. Change of color and 
flavor are in Some cases additional characteristics of 
raisining berries. 
While wilting is prerequisite to the raisining pro- 
cess, berries which merely are wilted, or which show 
the fine wrinkling of the skin characteristic of ad- 
vanced maturity without distinct shriveling or change 
of color or taste, are not considered as raisining. 
“ Raisined berries’ means grape berries which are 
fully cured, resembling raisins, which do not contain 
sufficient juice to drop from the berry under ordinary 
pressure between thumb and finger.
