Default Seedless Grape Propagation

Some "seedless" grapes are known to produce those soft seeds. I have
read that Venus is prone to that and my Venus does, in fact, have small
seeds in some of the grapes. They are small enough to be easily edible
and they often stay with the stem when you pull the grape loose.
In my case, cross pollination with a seeded variety isn't the cause
because I have no seeded variety on my property. I'm pretty sure I'm the
only one in the neighborhood with any grapes at all.

As far as the 200 ft rule, I've never heard of that before. I know that
if seedless cucumbers are pollinated by a seedy variety of cucumber, the
seedless one will have seeds too. I didn't think it worked that way with
grapes but I suppose it's possible.
