Narrative

After selecting this from the wild in 1885, George Batchelder made the first planting at Holliston, Massachusetts. The large fruit (54-75 cup count) ripens late and does not keep well in storage. The deep red berries are oblong in shape with a furrowed calyx end and are covered with a waxy bloom. The coarse vines produce tall uprights capable of giving good production.
