Memory is one of the best of the Rotundifolia grapes for the garden and local markets, and its fruits are especially good for dessert. As yet, however, the variety has not been widely distributed even in North Carolina, where it originated. The variety is given credit for being the most productive of the grapes of its species. Mem- ory is probably a seedling of Thomas, which it much resembles, and was found by T. S. Memory in a vineyard of Thomas grapes near Whiteville, North Carolina, about 1868.
