Narrative

Fruit is late, large (59-90 cupcount) becoming dark red when very ripe, 4 prominent ridges forming a rough cross Originally selected at Holliston, Massachusetts by George Batchelder in 1876, this cultivar was extensively planted in New Jersey during the 1920's. Centennial is as productive as Early Black but has larger berries, ranging in cup count from 47 to 75, and ripens late in the season. the round berries with furrowed stem ends are thin fleshed and uniformly red and have extra fine table quality. The plant produces coarse vines with many runners, which made hand scooping difficult. This coupled with its susceptibility to fruit rot and false blossom disease led to a loss in popularity in New Jersey. Paul Eck, 1990, The American Cranberry.
