July 2015 - The Grapes of Wreath (grapes proper):

The question has come up recently and although this should appear shortly in the new and improved Glossary of Terms, grapes proper are defined as grapes purpure. If they are slipped (and leaved) that portion is vert. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2015/07/15-07cl.html#4

February 2015 - no "proper" pumpkins:

#163Daya Speyererin. Device. Or, two reed pens inverted in saltire sable between four New World pumpkins proper. This device is returned for using a proper charge that does not have a defined tincture. SENA A3B1 states "Proper is a term used for a charge in its "natural" or "standard" tincture." Although orange is a natural tincture for some pumpkins, Vexillum cited Mary Miley Theobald's article "Some Pumpkins! Halloween and Pumpkins in Colonial America" (http://www.history.org/Foundation/journal/Autumn09/pumpkins.cfm), which says "What they had were pumpkins- large and small, round and oval, warty and smooth, squat and misshapen, orange, yellow, and green, far more varieties of the fruit than we see today." Thus, the idea that the pumpkins known to period Europeans do not have a single default tincture and thus "proper" cannot apply. We are therefore overturning the precedent from September 2010, that defined a pumpkin proper as "orange with a green stem". We cannot reblazon these charges as being tenné, as we do not register the stains, so orange is only registerable when "proper" only describes an orange charge. There would be a step from period practice for the use of New World pumpkins

February 2006 - turnips proper:

"Proper for a turnip is the top half of the turnip purpure and the bottom half argent (with a somewhat wavy line of division) with vert leaves; neither the purpure nor the argent should predominate. The argent tip on a purpure turnip need not be blazoned, nor does a purpure cap on an argent turnip as both are considered artistic details." and "The turnip leaves should be about a quarter to a half of the total charge. Due to the variability in size of the leaves, the tincture of the leaves does not contribute to tincture difference. This is similar to our treatment of a rose's slip and leaves." Note: therefore a turnip "proper" is a neutral charge as neither the purpure nor the argent predominates. [2006 LoAR]

March 2005 - grapes proper:

Regarding grapes, A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry, by James Parker, says on p. 602 (s.n. Vine), "When blazoned proper// the leaves should be //vert//, the fruit //purpure." [2005 LoAR Cover Letter]
