Narrative
Cross made in 1915. Fruit: cluster tight, long; berry size medium; ripens midseason. Bush: productive, especially in North Carolina; resistant to canker. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 186.Fredrick V. Coville, Principal Botanist, Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, Bureau of Plant Industry, 1937. Improving the Wild Blueberry. Yearbook of Agriculture. USDA. Govt. Printing Office. Washington, D.C. p. 569'The Scammell blueberry is named for H. B. Scammell, of Toms River, N. J., who first showed how good are the qualities of this berry under field conditions. One of the parents of the Scammell was a cross between the wild blueberries Brooks and Chatsworth. This Brooks-Chatsworth parent, which was never planted in the field, was recorded in the greenhouse in Washington as having 'Berries of delicious taste, sweet, slightly acid and of pronounced flavor.' This plant was pollinated with Rubel pollen in 1915 and the Scammell blueberry was one of the resulting seedlings. In the field the original bush of Scammell bore berries up to a diameter of 20.5 mm. On budded plants in the greenhouse in Washington they reached more than 22 mm. The berries have a medium blue color, firm texture and a small scar, and the calyx is almost wanting. The leaves are smaller than on most varieties of highbush ancestry, commonly 1.5 to 2 inches in length and five-eighths to three-quarters of an inch in width. The berries are sweet, subacid and have a high degree of flavor. They ripen in late midseason. Among New Jersey growers there has been little planing of this variety, apparently from doubt regarding its vegetative vigor. In North Carolina, However, at Double Trouble Company's blueberry plantation near magnolia, it is regarded as one of their best varieties.'
