Narrative

Cultivar originated ca. 1900. Fruit early, deep red, 70-90 cupcount, poor keepers This cultivar was selected by D. R. Burr and Berlin, Wisconsin, before 1901. It roduces a deep red berry that is pyriform shaped with a pointed stem end and is of large to medium size (70-90 cup count). The medium textured vines with large dark green leaves produce medium tall uprights that generate good crops of berries that do not store particularly well. it is being planted in New Jersey and in British Columbia - Paul Eck, The American Cranberry 1990 p. 66.
