Bokay (Captain x Terret Monstre) From Southwest Missouri State University. Handsome clusters of large, meaty, white, oval berries, rather resembling the old vinifera variety, Malaga. Flavor is neutral like vinifera also. It doesn't seem to have been planted much, probably because it is seeded and mainly for eating, not juice or wine. By the standards of grapes developed before seedlessness became paramount, it was a standout. Productive, with good vigor, bearing two and sometimes three clusters to a shoot. Not many reports on the hardiness or disease resistance of the variety, but should be reasonably healthy given the very healthy female parent, and is probably hardy to at least -15 F. Ripens close to Concord. Prune to cordons with two bud spurs.
