New Technique Improves Cardinal Grape Quality

Many Cardinal clusters, chiefly those which ripen earliest, are often poorly set with normal seeded berries. Frequently the shoulders of the clusters have the fewest normal berries set, giving them a cylindrical shape rather than the more desirable conical form associated with high quality Cardinal fruit. Some berries which do not set normally fail to drop off, and they remain in the clusters through the ripening period as small, green, seedless shot -berries.
