Narrative

This plant, a cross of Early Black x Howes made in 1930 by H. F. Bain at Whitesbog, New Jersey, and selected by F. B. Chandler and 1. E. Demoranville at East Wareham, Massachusetts, was named in honor of H. J. Franklin. It was introduced by the USDA in 1961. It produces a large to medium fruit (57-90 cup count) that ripens early. The round berries are red to dark red and have good to excellent keeping quality. Producing short runners and uprights of medium length, the vines are not very vigorous, but they are resistant to attack by the blunt-nosed leafhopper. Yields better than either of its parents and resistant to false blossom Fruit: size medium with cup count 57-90; nearly round; skin red to very dark red; keeping quality good to excellent; yield greater than Early Black or Howes; fruit rot no more than Early Black or Howes; ripens early. Bush: upright medium length; runners few and short; resistant to feeding by the leafhopper that spreads false blossom virus. Named in honor of H. J. Franklin (1883-1958), former head, East Wareham Cranberry Sta. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997.
