The #FallHarvest yields crimson cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon), a historically important food for the Indigenous peoples of New England. Cranberries became a staple in colonial diets, especially after sugar became widely available due to the slave trade.

Native Fruit: Cranberry for all Seasons

William Aiton (Scottish botanist, 1731–93)

William Aiton (1731 – 2 February 1793) was a Scottish botanist.

The Aiton family tomb

Aiton was born near Hamilton. Having been regularly trained to the profession of a gardener, he travelled to London in 1754, and became assistant to Philip Miller, then superintendent of the Chelsea Physic Garden. In 1759 he was appointed director of the newly established botanical garden at Kew, where he remained until his death. He effected many improvements at the gardens, and in 1789 he published Hortus Kewensis, a catalogue of the plants cultivated there.[1][2] He is buried at nearby St. Anne's Church, Kew.[3]

A second and enlarged edition of the Hortus was brought out in 1810–1813 by his eldest son, William Townsend Aiton.[1]

Aiton is commemorated in the specific epithet aitonis.[4]

In 1789, he classified the Sampaguita plant to the Jasminium genus and also named it as Arabian Jasmine because it was believed that the plant originated from The Arabian Peninsula[5] although the plant didn't originate from Arabia.

Cooler autumn days mean New England bogs turn crimson with cranberries.

Long before tart cranberry sauce graced Thanksgiving tables, the cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) was an important food for American Indians. Not only was sauce consumed by Native peoples in what is now New England, it was also mashed and dried with meat and fat to create a nutritious, long-lasting bar called pemmican. 

A good source of vitamin C and benzoic acid, a natural preservative, cranberries became a staple in colonial diets, especially after sugar became widely available due to the slave trade.
