195.3 Definitions of terms.
As used in this Subchapter:
(a) Mature means that the grapes are juicy, palatable, and have reached that stage of development at which the skin of the berry easily separates from the pulp. Frozen, or slightly frosted stock should not be confused with mature stock.
(b) Well colored means that the berries shall show full color characteristic of the variety.
(c) Fairly well colored means that not less than 75 percent, by weight, shall show full color characteristic of the variety. Twenty five percent may show partially or poorly colored berries which are not characteristic of immature berries.
(d) Shattered berries means berries which have separated from the bunch.
(e) Compact bunches means well filled bunches, with no open spaces.
(f) Fairly compact means that the bunches are well filled but that the berries are not closely spaced as in “compact bunches.”
(g) Damage means any injury which materially affects the appearance or the edible or shipping quality. Mildew which affects the appearance of the berries shall be considered as damage, but berries shall not be regarded as damaged by mildew which are firmly attached to the stems and which have only slight traces of mildew on the inside of the bunch where it does not affect the appearance of the berries.
(h) Serious damage means that the defects taken singly or collectively seriously affect the market quality.
(i) Straggly means a decidedly open bunch with large open spaces and very few berries. Small, immature shotberries, characteristic of the Worden variety, should be disregarded unless they are excessive in number and detract materially from the appearance of the lot.
