Life Style / Wine Grapes / Hartford: Variety once extensively grown in New York, deriving from a chance seedling found (around 1849) in West Hartford, Connecticut. Reported at that time to have Isabella as one parent, the other parent being an unknown variety. Vine is vigorous, prolific and the fruit reportedly ripens one-two weeks before Concord. Fruit quality is low, too foxily unpleasant to eat. Does not ship, pack or keep well. Prior to 1890 the subject variety had the synonym name Hartford Prolific.
