in 1868, and is a cross between the Concord and Cassidy, first fruiting in 1872. I

grower and very hardy ; the leaves are thick and leathery and dark glbssy green ; 
bunches very large and uniform and very compact ; berries as large or larger than 
Concord and skin thin but tough, which insures their shipping qualities ; quality 
good, very little pulp, melting and sweet to the center ; ripens with the Concord.
