Narrative

Fruit late, very large (60-90/cup), medium red becoming dark red, do not keep or ship well This productive late ripening cultivar was selected by P. A. Fuller at Centerville, Massachusetts in 1882. The berries are large (46-60 cup count), medium red in color, oval shaped with pointed stem end, and possess extra fine flavor, but they do not color, or keep well in storage. like Centennial, it produces many coarse runners that interfere with scooping.Paul Eck, 1990, The American Cranberry.
