Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) The accompanying photographs illustrate ‘EJG Two’ in full color. The colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type. For reference, many of the photographs include the following: a 24-color card sold by CAMERATRAX, a code number (13028028) that was used for testing ‘EJG Two’, and gridlines in which each square is 1 cm×1 cm. The grapevines and portions thereof shown in the photographs were grown in the vicinity of Ripperdan, Madera County, Calif. The photographs were obtained during the year 2020 when the grapevines were about three (3) years old.

(2) FIG. 1 includes a photograph of a grape cluster on ‘EJG Two’ during August.

(3) FIG. 2 includes a photograph of a grape cluster, three grapes, and six seeds during September. A grape in the middle of the three grapes has been cut in half.

(4) FIG. 3 includes a photograph of an abaxial surface of a mature leaf during July.

(5) FIG. 4 includes a photograph of an adaxial surface of a mature leaf during July.

(6) FIG. 5 includes a photograph of an abaxial surface of a young leaf during July.

(7) FIG. 6 includes a photograph of an adaxial surface of a young leaf during July.

(8) FIG. 7 includes a photograph of a shoot base during July.

(9) FIG. 8 includes a photograph of a shoot tip during July.
