Title	Grapevine Sheegene-9

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.
