Narrative
Cross made in 1913. Fruit: small; skin light blue; flavor pronounced; hard to pick, tears badly; ripens later than Pioneer. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 182.Frederick V. Coville. Principal Botanist, Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, Bureau of Plant Industry. 1937. Improving the wild blueberry. USDA Yearbook of Agriculture. Govt. Printing Office. Washington, D. C. p. 569.' The Katharine blueberry is of the same parentage as Pioneer. It was a first-generation cross between the wild highbush blueberries Brooks and Sooy, from a pollination made in 1913. The berries are light blue and of especially delicious flavor. On the original bush they reached a diameter of a little over 19 mm. Ocassionally in commercial plantations they reach 20 mm. The Katharine is hard to pick. The berry clings tenaciously to its stem, and when it is pulled away a hole is often torn in the base of the berry. The injury detracts from both the appearance and the keeping quality of the berries, yet in spite of this defect the Katharine is a variety that has been very satisfactory to the consumer. The Katharine is named after my daughter, Katharine, now Mrs. Chester C. Woodburn, of Des Moines, Iowa, who in one of her high-school years did all my blueberry pollinations. The variety ripens a little later than Pioneer.'
