Vitis vinifera 'Lady deCoverly' The most widely planted seedless grape, Thompson Seedless, (also known as Sultana) makes excellent raisins as well as being a favorite for fresh eat ing. It was originally imported into California by Richard Thompson around 1875, and became the first seedless grape in wide distribution. It needs long, hot summers to develop full flavor, and will not ripen completely in cool summer areas. The pale green fruit dries to familiar brown raisins in the sun.
