Narrative
Introd. in 1926. Fruit: cluster tight; berry small; oblate; flesh firm, crisp; aroma slight; flavor mildly subacid; dessert quality fair to good; ships well; early midseason, after Collins; cracks badly in wet weather. Bush: productive; erect; fair vigor; resistant to stunt virus disease and canker; leaf susceptible to June spot. - 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. First USDA blueberry breeder. 1937. Improving the wild blueberry. Yearbook of Agriculture. USDA. Govt. Printing Office. Washington, D. C. p. 569-570.'One of the parents of Rancocas was an unnamed blueberry hybrid known as 394Y, a first generation cross between Brooks and Russell. The other parent was a wild blueberry from the pine barrens of New Jersey named Rubel. This is, in form, the German spelling of the name of the old Russian coin, the rouble (sic). the name of the blueberry variety Rubel, however, is of neither German nor Russian derivation. The man who discovered this bush was Rube Leek. Rube did not seem an expressive name for a berry that was blue and beautiful and Leek was suggestive of a flavor that the berry did not posess. Rubel was a compromise, made up of Mr. Leek's first name and the initial of his last. The seed from which the Rancocas bush grew was the result of a pollination in the spring of 1915. Rancocas is a second early variety, ripening its berries later than Cabot and earlier than Pioneer. The original bush bore berries up to 18 mm in diameter. Berries in commercial plantations sometimes exceed 19 mm. Rancocas tends to the production of heavy crops on young and healthy bushes, so heavy indeed that unusual care must be taken to prune the bushes severely in order to insure a good crop in the following year. The leaves of Rancocas have finely toothed margins. The berries have a small, dry scar and are very easily picked. The name of this variety came from Rancocas Creek in New Jersey. Near this creek was the blueberry plantation in which the variety gave its first satisfactory performance.'
