Excerpt from The Seedless Raisin Grapes Mr. Thompson deserves great credit for having Introduced this valuable grape into California, but it seems hardly necessary or desir able to change the euphonious and appropriate name by which it has been known in most of the regions where it has been grown probably for hundreds of years. The vine is remarkably vigorous, producing in rich soil canes often thirty feet long. These canes are often comparatively thin and slightly flattened for a foot or so near the trunk and become rounded and much thicker in their middle portion. The joints are very long, and strong' laterals are produced abundantly, especially when the growing shoots are pinched or topped.
