Leaves large, dark green in the summer, very dark red in the winter. Flowers white, much marked with pink. Fruit late, ripening in Massachusetts about October 5; berries a little under medium size, 80-140 to the half- pint cup ; round when well seeded, oblong when poorly seeded, symmetrical ; red and indistinctly striped, be- coming dark red; colors exceptionally well in storage; flesh very firm, excellent for keeping and shipping, fair for the table ; easily cleaned ; seeds 7-15 as an average. JERSEY. Under this name the wild cran- berry of New Jersey is offered bj the Ameri- can Cranberr} Exchange. It is said that more of these 'natives' are grown in the cultivated bogs of the state than of any distinct named variety. The berries are variable in size, shape, and color. They are usually ready for market after October 15. The fruit is of long-keeping and good-shipping qualities and very desirable for distant shipment. A large percentage of the crop of this variety is shipped uncleaned, the product keeping better when packed and stored in this manner. McFARLIN. Fig. 284. McFarlin is one of the few cranberries grown in both the East and the West. It is rather more highly prized in Wisconsin and in the Pacific states than on the Atlantic seaboard, although at one time it was one of the three leading varieties in the eastern states. The va- riety originated with T. H. McFarlin, South Carver, Massachusetts, about 1874. Vines coarse with many runners, poorly suited for scoop-picking; about as productive as Early Black, bearing 55 bbls. to the acre. Leaves medium green, rather large. Flowers distinctly marked
