Title: Re: [NAFEX] Jersey Muscat grape

Not a misprint.  Lots of breeders, amateur and university have crossed muscat grapes with labrusca over the years.  I don't have Jersey, but I have a lot of other muscats, several of which have labrusca in them.  The best such hybrid I have tried in NY Muscat.  It is about three weeks earlier than Concord.
