Abstract: A new and distinct variety characterized by the large, red-colored seedless grapes that ripen in late August to early September, approximately six weeks later than the Flame Seedless Grape (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial harvesting.

Abstract: The new and distinct variety characterized by a dark red-colored, medium sized seedless grape that ripens in early August approximately two weeks later than the Flame Seedless Grape (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this variety are produced on strong woody stem and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety characterized by a green-colored, large sized seedless grape that ripens during the first week of September, approximately four weeks later than the Thompson Seedless Grape (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety characterized by red-colored nearly seedless grapes that ripen in late June, approximately two to three weeks earlier than the Flame Seedless Grape (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches that are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety characterized by a green-colored, medium to large sized seedless grape that ripens during mid-July, approximately one week earlier than the Thompson Seedless Grape (unpatented) when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The grapes of this new variety are produced on strong woody branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety characterized by a green-colored, medium sized seedless grape that ripens during the fourth week of June, approximately two to three weeks earlier than the Perlette Seedless Grape (unpatented), when grown in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. The berries of this new variety are produced on strong woody branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine which is somewhat remotely similar to the ‘Crimson’ grapevine (not patented), but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately two (2) to three (3) weeks prior to the fruit produced by the ‘Crimson’ grapevine (not patented) and wherein the fruit are seedless berries which are juicy with an excellent flavor, red skin coloration and a moderately firm and tough skin. The berries of the new variety are borne on strong, woody stems which are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety characterized by a large green nearly-seedless grape with excellent flavor that ripens in the second week of September approximately eight weeks later than the Thompson Seedless Grape (unpatented). The berries of this new variety are produced on strong woody stems and branches and are very well adapted to commercial harvesting.

Abstract: The new and distinct variety characterized by a very large red seedless grape that ripens in early August three weeks later than the Flame Seedless Grape (unpatented) with good favor, juicy and firm skin. The berries are born on strong woody stems and branches and are well adapted to commercial handling.

Abstract: A process for bonding an amino acid to an insoluble hydroxymethyl polymer by esterifying the C-terminal carboxyl group of an N-terminal protected amino acid with the hydroxyl group of an insoluble hydroxymethyl polymer. The esterifying takes place at about room temperature in the presence of a condensing agent. The insoluble hydroxymethyl polymer is a hydroxymethylated copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxymethylated sulfonated polystyrene or polyvinyl alcohol. The condensing agent is dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, carbonyldiimidazole, thionyl chloride, phosphorous oxychloride or ethoxyacetylene. Peptides can be formed by bonding one or more amino acids to the amino acid bonded to the insoluble hydroxymethyl polymer.
