Narrative

The original planting of this selection was made by L. Handy at Wilmington, Massachusetts, in 1932. The small fruit (100-110 cup count) ripens late in the season and has good storage characteristics. The medium red, glossy berry is oblong to oval in shape but has no other distinguishing characteristics. The moderately vigorous vines, however, produce very good crops.

L. Handy originally planted this cultivar at Wilmington, Massachusetts in 1932
