Narrative
Cross made in 1915. Fruit: large; round; skin dark; little bloom. Ordinary in appearance; cracks badly after rains; flavor good to excellent; does not ship well; ripens late, with Rubel or later. Bush: tall; upright-spreading; vigorous; hardy; productive; easily propagated and pruned. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 188.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'In the Augumn of 1916 some 300 pedigreed but untested blueberry seedlings were sent to the cranberry substation of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station, East Wareham, Mass., to be brought into fruit by H. J. Franklin, in charge of the cranberry substation. Among these seedlings was one that, after several years of observation, Professor Franklin thought was of sufficient merit to be named and distributed. In accordance with his wish it was named Wareham. The parents of the Wareham blueberry were the wild New Jersey highbush blueberry Rubel and another wild New Jersey highbush named Harding, after its discoverer, Ralph Harding. The cross-pollination was made in 1915. The original bush of the Wareham blueberry, in the late summer of 1931, had a breadth of 9 by 9 feet and a height of 6 feet. It was vigorous and had produced 8 quarts of berries that season. It differed from most other tall varieties of blueberries improved by breeding in having serrate leaves like its Harding parent. When i saw the bush again, on July 28, 1933, its berries had not yet been picked. Several were over 19 mm in diameter, some of them nearly 20 mm. Wareham is a late-season variety, its berries maturing at about the same time as Jersey. until they are dead ripe they are a little to acid for the taste of most persons. When fully ripe they are sweet-subacid and of good flavor.'
