Narrative
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 Cabot blueberry is a first-generation hybrid between two wild highbush blueberries, Brooks, already described, and Chatsworth which was found near the settlement named Chatsworth, in the pine barrens of new Jersey. The cross-pollination was made in 1913. The bush was named for my son, Cabot Coville, now secretary of the American embassy at Tokyo, who chose this bush for the flavor of its berries, which have a slight acidity in preference to the sweet nonacid berries of Pioneeer. Cabot is an early variety, for many years the earliest of the named varieties, and in consequence it has been planted very extensively by blueberry growers. It has been found desireable to pick its berries about twice a week, and a bush sometimes yields as many as seven pickings. The berries on the original bush reached a diameter of 18.5 mm. For some obscure reason the fruit buds of the Cabot blueberry, in late winter, are a morsel fascinating to deer. At the blueberry plantation known as the Ore Ponds, a few miles west of Toms River, N.J., the deer almost denuded the Cabot bushes of their fruit buds in the early spring of 1928. In consequence of this excessive pruning by deer, the remaining buds produced berries up to 20.5 mm in diameter, and unusually large size for this variety.'Bush low-spreading, early season
