* PLEASE NOTE: Although considered a «seedless» variety, seeds might occasionally appear some years, when the vine has been “stressed”.

 

As stated by Cornell University: «The degree of seedlessness varies greatly among seedless grape varieties. Most seedless grapes have vestigial seed traces that range in size from very small to large and noticeable. Seed traces in berries of the same variety may vary greatly in size and in the hardness of their seed coats. Climate is also known to affect seed trace size. Occasionally the seed traces in some seedless grapes are large enough to be bothersome to consumers.»

Montréal blues

 

Dans certaines régions du monde le Montreal Blues (E.S. 6-4-47) porte le nom de Saint Theresa.

 

La légende voudrait qu’un pépiniériste après en avoir discuté avec Elmer Swenson aurait eu son accord pour l’appeler ainsi, en l’honneur de Sainte Thérèse de Lisieux (France), la religieuse carmélite qui a montré son amour de Dieu en plantant des fleurs.
