reliably self-fertile.

remained the standard of excellence for generations,

one that always commands the highest market prices.

requiring rich soil, good culture, and close pruning.

grape. Vigorous, hardy and productive. Fruit ripens

as productive as its rivals. Plant of slow, sturdy 
growth, holding its fruit well up from the ground.

mildly acid. A heavy bearer and universal favorite.
