tundifolia; dark red, almost like the variety Emperor in color, decidedly 
oblong; skin medium thin and tough and covered with a few conspicu¬ 
ous, raised, russet dots; pulp soft, sweet to subacid; very good in quality 
with an agreeable flavor. 
Seeds: Thus far only one seed has been found per berry. The 
average length of seed (only five seeds having been measured) being 
6.3 mm., the average width, 4.0 mm., the average depth, 3.0 mm.; color 
of the seeds variable ranging from light to dark brown, not glossy; 
beak the same color as the body of the seed; chalaza located slightly 
above the middle of the dorsal side of the seed, ovate to oblong in shape, 
depressed and sometimes sunken; suture broad and deep from the 
chalaza to the top of the seed and shallow from the chalaza to the beak, 
slightly wrinkled around the chalaza; raphe hair-like extending from 
beak to suture on top of the seed where it becomes invisible; ventral 
depressions deep, broad, curving outward toward the top of the seed, 
Fig. 9. Two types of flower-clusters found among the Fi hybrid vines when 
Winchell is crossed with the perfect hermaphroditic Rotundifolia vine 1-1. 
The cluster on the left (perfect hermaphroditic) assumes the size of the per¬ 
fect hermaphroditic Rotundifolia vine, while the cluster on the right (imper¬ 
fect hermaphroditic) assumes the size of similar flower-clusters that are 
found on Rotundifolia vines. Reduced.
