Narrative
Cross made in 1928. Fruit: cluster loose; berry large; round-oblate; skin dark blue; aroma lacking; dessert quality usually poor; scar medium; tend to drop; season very early. Bush: very productive; vigor low; erect; spreading. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 188.Early ripening, standard variety 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. 569The Weymouth is named for the cranberry and blueberry plantation of Weymouth, at which most of the Department's testing of new pedigreed blueberry seedlings has been conducted since 1929, between Hammonton and Mays Landing, New Jersey. It is near Weymouth Furnace, long ago abandoned, at which cannon and cannonballs were made from bog iron ore during the War of 1812. The Weymouth blueberry is a cross between the two early varieties June and Cabot. The pollination was made in 1928. Although the earliness of Weymouth is not yet satisfactorily proved from commercial field experience, the original bush bore berries that reached nearly 22 mm in diameter and ripened much earlier than Cabot. The berries have only a moderate degree of acidity in the early stage of their ripening, and they are sweet, subacid, and delicious when they are first picked. The loose much of their taste if they are allowed to become overripe. '
