0	PI 686957	'Dunphy'	Vaccinium corymbosum L.	New Jersey, United States	COR	Not Available	2018	DEVELOPED	1911					Cultivar	Original elite clone from Whitesbog, New Jersey; Named in 1911 by Elizabeth C. White for her worker, Theodore Dunphy, who found this elite clone growing on the New Jersy Pine Barrens in the Whitesbog region. This clone is sometimes called 'Dunfee'. This bush was one of 6 varieties that Elizabeth White stated in 1927 in 'Success magazine' "For a long time we had very poor luck with propagation; only about 10% of the plants lived. Finally we narrowed down to six varieties which seemed in every way suitable for commercial production: Rubel, Harding, Sam, Grover, Adams, and Dunfee (sic.)" Miss White's helpers searched for blueberris upon her request. These searchers were organized under either Jake Sooy or Alfred Stevenson and the men were equipped with labels, bottles containing the preservative formalin, and an aluminum gauge with a 5/8-inch diameter hole. If a bush featured at least one berry of this size or larger, it was deemed a good candidate for cultivation. For their efforts, these workers were offered '2.00 per bush plus compensation for the time required to locate the plants and bring them to Whitesbog. In addition, the finders enjoyed the distinction of having the bushes they found named after them.	1957939	PI 686957

When Sam Lemmon found a bush, I could not name it the Lemmon bush so I called it the Sam. Elizabeth White article in Success magazine in 1927: Next we cut up the bushes into pieces, sometimes as many as a hundred pieces to a bush. These were planted under glass in carefully prepared propagating beds. But for a long time we had very poor luck with propagation; only about 10% of the plants lived. Finally, we narrowed down to six varieties which seemed in every way suitable for commercial production, Rubel, Harding, Sam, Grover, Adams & Dunfee (sic).	1957942	PI 686960

Florida, United States	COR	Not Available	2014	DEVELOPED	1998					Cultivar	A new and distinct low-chill tetraploid highbush blueberry (Vacinnium) variety of complex ancestry, based largely on V. corymbosum L with some genes from V. darrowi Camp. Its novelty consists of the following unique combination of features: 1. Produces a bush that is upright, but somewhat spreading. 2. Has a medium level of resistance to cane canker (Botryosphaeria corticis), stem blight (Botryosphaeria dothidia), and root rot (Phytophthora cinnamomi). 3. Flowers very early in north central Florida (Gainesville). Date of full bloom in Gainesville averages about February 10, seven days before `Sharpblue` (an unpatented variety that is widely grown in Florida). 4. Produces numerous flower buds and flowers heavily and synchronously in areas that receive 250 hours or more of temperatures below 45.degree. F. per winter. 5. Ripens 5-7 days earlier than `Sharpblue`. First commercial harvest averages April 15 in Gainesville, Fla., and peak harvest is about April 25. 6. Produces fruit that are large, firm, have a good picking scar, with tart to sweet flavor and good texture. 7. Can be propagated asexually by softwood cuttings.	1919385	PI 679633

10	PI 666840	'Draper'	Vaccinium corymbosum L.	Michigan, United States	COR	Not Available	2012	DEVELOPED						Cultivar	Highbush type cultivar. Height of bush will be 5-6 feet tall at maturity. Plants appear to have high vigor and produce an upright and open growth habit. Ripening will begin July 15 in Grand Junction, Michigan. The ripe fruits will remain on the plants for approximately 3 weeks, when 80% of the fruits can be harvested at one time. Michigan Growers Plant Protection. Consistent good yields have been observed on test plants 6 years old. It appears that ultimate yield could be that of Duke, 10-15 pounds per plant. Fruit size is medium, approximately 75 berries per cup. Berry quality is firm and has a small, dry picking scar. Berries are a bright blue. Fruits are high quality and will store for long periods of time in storage. Harvesting by hand is recommended. Preliminary observations preclude that mechanical harvesting can be done with care; harvesting up to 80% of the fruit at one harvest. Markets for the fruit should be geared to fresh markets due to the fruits fine quality and good flavor. The plants have performed well in the recommended growing areas. Disease resistance is unknown.

G-132 is a cross of E-118 (Ashworth x Earliblue) x Bluecrop. 290-1 is a cross of Ashworth (a wild V. corymbosum selection from New York state) x Fla 61-7 [(Berkeley x (V. tenellum Ait. x V. ashei, cv. Callaway)) x (V. corymbosum x V. darrowi Camp)] (see attached pedigree, Figure 1). The cross that produced PINK CHAMPAGNE was made by A.D. Draper at Beltsville, MD. The seedling was selected in 1978 at the Atlantic Blueberry Company in Hammonton, New Jersey. The selection was subsequently evaluated by A.D. Draper between 1981 and 1984, and also evaluated at Michigan Blueberry Growers (MBG) Association test plots in Grand Junction, Michigan. Its general characteristics are early- to mid-season ripening, moderate to good yields, medium-sized fruit (1.3 g), dark pink fruit-color, good flavor, good scar, and good firmness. Fruit quality may be considered comparable to Bluecrop except for size; Bluecrop typically averages about 1.7 g per fruit. PINK CHAMPAGNE was considered second-early ripening in New Jersey, and midseason ripening in Michigan. The evaluations in Michigan, from 2001-2003, observed typical yields of 2.7 kg per bush, with an average first harvest date of July 25. Production was variable in New Jersey; this is probably related to the southern germplasm in the ancestry of PINK CHAMPAGNE, resulting in sporadic flower bud hardiness problems resulting from fluctuating late winter temperatures. In higher yielding years (productivity = 8), yields would be generally comparable to those of Bluecrop which had yields of 4 -5 kg per bush. Tables 1 and 2 list ratings and color data for PINK CHAMPAGNE; Figure 3 shows fruit of PINK CHAMPAGNE. The bush of PINK CHAMPAGNE is upright and typical of highbush (1.5 m high x 1.2 m wide). Summer foliage is deep green, turning to bright red in the fall. Winter-time twigs are burgundy in color. PINK CHAMPAGNE is recommended primarily for areas where northern highbush are typically grown, but southern germplasm in its ancestry suggests is may also be adapted to more southerly areas. cultivar release by Mark Ehlenfeldt Seedling was selected by A.

The North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, and the United States Department of Agriculture announce the release of the southern highbush blueberry cultivar 'Summit' for trial by growers and nurserymen. 'Summit' , labeled G-616, originated from the cross G-144 x F14-76 made in 1976 at Beltsville, MD., by A.D. Draper. It was tested in replicated trials at Waynesville and Castle Hayne, NC, and observation trails at Jackson Springs, NC, Hammonton, NJ, and Clarksville, AR. 'Summit' is recommended as a high quality hand harvest type cultivar for fresh market outlets or homeowner use. It is a mid-late season southern highbush blueberry that blooms about the same time as 'Croatan' in North Carolina and slightly earlier than 'Bluecrop' in Arkansas. Ripening season is approximately two weeks after 'Croatan'. It is consistent in production, with fruit size larger than 'Croatan' and 'Bluecrop'. Fruit color and flavor are excellent, fruit picking scar and firmness are superior to 'Croatan'. Fruit cracking and stemming were not a significant factor at the Castle Hayne, N.C. location. 'Summit' performed better than 'Bluecrop' and 'Climax' in post-harvest studies in Oklahoma.. The flowers of 'Summit' are self-fruitful based on greenhouse selfing trials in Raleigh, N.C. Plant habit is semi-upright with moderate vigor. It is not resistant to stem blight (Botryosphaeria dothidea) or anthracnose fruit rot (Colletotrichum sp.) though these have not been shown to be a severe problem over the last 10 years. A limited number of rooted cuttings of 'Summit' will be available through the North Carolina Foundation Seed Producers, Inc., for spring, 1998.

Reka is one of the fastest growing, most adaptable varieties we have ever evaluated. It is growing well in light sandy soils, peat, and heavier clay loams. Reka seems to tolerate wetter ground than many other varieties. Growers are especially enthused over Reka's production. The yield curve is quite steep, out producing most others in the early years and keeping up with Bluecrop at maturity.

Crossed in 1974 by A.D. Draper at Beltsville, Maryland. Selected in 1978 at the Atlantic Blueberry Company, Hammonton, NJ, and subsequently evaluated by A.D. Draper, G.J. Galletta, G. Jelenkovic, N. Vorsa, and M.K. Ehlenfeldt. CHANTICLEER (the rooster) was so named because of its characteristic of very early ripening. CHANTICLEER ripens its fruit 2-5 days earlier than 'Weymouth', the earliest leading cultivar, and is superior to 'Weymouth' in fruit size and color. Its fruit are medium sized, medium to light blue, with good scars, and good firmness. CHANTICLEER fruit is sweet, sub-acid, and mild -flavored. Production is equivalent to 'Weymouth'. Table 1 compares fruit characteristics of CHANTICLEER to 'Weymouth', 'Duke', and 'Bluecrop'. CHANTICLEER is an upright, moderate height bush, that flowers slightly later than 'Weymouth' offering improved avoidance from damage by late spring frosts. Observations have suggested it is resistant to mummy berry blight (Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi.) Screening in North Carolina has shown it to be relatively resistant to stem blight (Botryosphaefia dothidea), but blighting has been observed in New Jersey on some younger plantings. CHANTICLEER has been a consistently good performer in New Jersey, but has been more variable in other regions, producing low to moderate yields in Michigan, Arkansas, Oregon, and North Carolina. CHANTICLEER is recommended as an early season cultivar primarily for commercial growers in northeastern temperate regions, including New Jersey and adjoining states. 'Chanticleer' is an early - maturing tetrapoid highbush blueberry that was developed by the cooperative breeding program of ARS and the New jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. A.D. Draper, G.J.

When first released in 1990, Bluegold was thought to be late ripening. We were disappointed to learn that this variety was actually midseason, ripening most all of its fruit within the first two pickings of Bluecrop. A pleasant surprise was the very high production of truly superior fruit. The berries are very firm, flavorful, and evenly sized. Shelf life in normal storage as well as controlled atmosphere has been outstanding. A particularly exciting feature is the concentrated ripening, making Bluegold one of the easiest varieties for hand harvest and a good candidate for mechanical harvesting.

ASHS Press. p. 175.Tetraploid 'southern highbush' type involving 3 species of Southern origin: V. darrowi, V. ashei, and V. tenellum This blueberry genotype is intended for release as a complementary cultivar to 'Reveille'. 'Bladen' is superior to 'Reveille, in fruit color development at harvest and for resistance to fruit cracking in wet weather.'Bladen' is early ripening (generally a little earlier than 'Reveille' and 'O'Neal') with good productivity, quality, fruit color, firmness, picking scar, and modest fruit size. It is the second highbush blueberry cultivar developed in North Carolina that is adapted to mechanical harvesting for fresh market outlets.Mechanically harvested fruit of 'Bladen' is equal or superior to hand harvested fruit of 'Croatan' for both fruit color and firmness. Picking ease is similar to 'Croatan', placing it in the desirable range for mechanical harvesting. The soluble solids/acids ration of the ripe fruit is significantly lower than 'Croatan' and similar to 'Bounty', indicating good potential for extended shelf life. Fruit storage studies also indicate that the shelf life of machine and hand-harvested fruit of 'Bladen' is generally superior to 'Croatan'.'Bladen' bushes are upright and vigorous with a slightly wider canopy than 'Reveille'. In greenhouse studies, the blossoms were not completely self fruitful. Planting a pollinator cultivar such as 'Reveille' or 'O'Neal' in every 5th row will insure adequate cross-pollination. Ripening is 4 to 5 days earlier than 'Reveille' if no freeze damage occurs to blossoms. Blossoming is also earlier than 'Reveille' -thus making freeze-protection irrigation absolutely essential for reliable cropping. 'Bladen' roots readily from either softwood or hardwood cuttings. It has shown excellent field resistance to stem canker, and some tolerance to stem blight and mummy berry. S. D. Rooks, J. R. Ballington, and C. M.

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 Frederick V.

Appears more tolerant of higher pH than other southern highbush types. The University of Georgia and USDA released this variety after extensive trials in high heat areas. Production in the Southeast has been very good. Early trials in our test block have been equally impressive. Chilling requirements are reported at 300 to 350 hours.

Bush erect with narrow crown at maturity. Medium to large fruit, very firm, light blue. Excellent flavorMisty has become the most popular variety in Florida where it is liked for its high yields and consistent quality. Here in the West we find Misty to be quite vigorous, growing very well both on the coast and in the inland heat. The fruit is of exceptional quality and one of the first to ripen. It is normally picked 3-5 times during harvest. Best results are obtained when Misty is pruned heavily to avoid over-cropping. Of particular interest is Misty's tendency to partially flower and fruit in the fall. Little is known of this phenomenon but there may be definite possibilities to harvest a spring and fall crop in areas with warm, extended falls. We recommend Misty for commercial production in areas with chilling as low as 150 hours and all areas with mild winters and hot summers.Misty. I named it this because I liked the word and because it connotes the light-blue color of the fruit. (per. comm., Paul Lyrene, 11 September 2003).

Bush: vigorous; upright; productive; hardy; shows moderate resistance to Monilina vaccinii-corymbosi. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 180.Very late. Upright, vigorous, excellent bush shape. Heaviest producer of medium size, powder blue, very firm, slightly tart berries. Small, dry scarFor those who have the labor force or the machinery to harvest it, Elliott has tremendous potential for filling the late season fresh market niche when all other varieties are finished. Elliott is an extremely strong grower, and a heavy, consistent producer that shows resistance to mummy berry, probably due to its late bloom period. It machine harvests quite well in warmer areas. This is probably due to Elliott's extra firm fruit and the tendency for fruit to remain strongly attached to the bush until ripe. Elliott is presently the best highbush variety for controlled atmosphere storage, which is extending the sellable shelf life for up to 12 weeks. This has the potential to further increase the value back to the grower. Given Elliott's tremendous yields, positive market characteristics, and a grower's harvesting ability, Elliott continues to offer the largest return per acre of any variety. George M.

Not since the release of Bluecrop in 1954 has a variety demonstrated as much potential for high, early yields and quality fruit. The berries are remarkably even sized throughout harvest. They are medium blue, quite firm, with a notable crisp flesh. Flavor is mild, improving with cold storage. The bush is strong and one of the most productive varieties grown. Heavy pruning is advised to retain the large berry size. Mechanical harvesting has been very successful the last few years with growers producing fresh market quality fruit.

It is very precocious and productive, with very large fruit of fine color, picking scar, and firmness, and average quality. Fruit quality is greatly enhanced by rapid removal of field heat following harvest. In unusually warm ripening seasons, if fruit is allowed to get overripe, it has occasionally taken on an unpleasant metallic aftertaste. Therefore it is important to both remove field heat from fruit immediately following harvest, and not allow fruit to get overripe to produce optimum quality. The fruit has a desirable soluble solids/acids ratio for extended shelf-life.

Fruit is very large, medium blue, excellent flavorSharpblue is the leading early variety in low chill areas throughout the world. It is the most adaptable of all the low chill types performing well from the heavy soils of coastal Australia to the sandy soils of Florida. Sharpblue continues to be planted because of its earliness, very large fruit and excellent flavor. Care must be taken to harvest frequently to keep the quality high in hot weather. In very mild climates Sharpblue will flower and fruit throughout the year, with a commercial crop favored in spring and a smaller crop in fall. Sharpblue is recommended in areas with winter chilling under 500 hours but will grow in climates where there are practically no chilling hours. R. H.

The soluble solids/acidsratio of the fruit is desirable for extended shelf-life. Plant habit, vigorous and adaptation are very similar to Murphy. BOUNTY blooms late, the flowers are self--fertile, and it is easy to propagate. It has shown field tolerance to stem canker and stem blight. It is susceptible to blueberry bud mite, mummy berry, anthracnose fruit rot.BOUNTY is intended for release as a very large-fruited, high quality cultivar for hand harvest and shipment of fancy fruit, to major markets.

ASHS Press. p. 184.O'NEAL is recommended for trial throughout the southeastern U.S., as a very-early to early ripening cultivar which should replace Wolcott. It is productive and produces very large fruit, with good color and excellent picking scar, firmness, and flavor. It sets a new standard for flavor among early-ripening southern highbush cultivars. A tough skin and excellent picking scar compensate somewhat for an undesirable soluble solids/acids ratio in extending shelf-life. The O'NEAL plant is vigorous, semi-upright in habit, and widely adapted. It performs well in the coastal plain, and on lighter soils in the piedmont (with mulching incorporation of organic matter). It is early blooming with a chilling requirement of around 400 hrs, and frost protection is recommended to insure regular cropping. Flowers are self-fertile. O'NEAL is very easy to propagate from cuttings. It is field tolerant to the predominant race of stem canker in North, Carolina and reasonably field tolerant to stem blight. It is susceptible to blueberry bud mite, but not nearly as susceptible as Wolcott.O'NEAL is intended primarily as a large-fruited, very high quality, early-ripening cultivar for hand harvest for commercial shipment. It is also adapted for PYO plantings in the piedmont of the southeast with appropriate soil modification and permanent irrigation. The name O'NEAL is in honor of Mr. J.M.

Reasons given for this include the colonists' friendship with Monteo, a native of Croatoan Island, and a carving of the word 'C-R-O-A-T-O-A-N' into a post of the fort (and 'C-R-O' into a nearby tree), ostensibly to let John White know where they had fled. White was unable to search Croatoan Island because a hurricane hit the outer banks of North Carolina and blew his fleet to sea. After the storm abated, the fleet was low on provisions and decided to return to England. Non of the original colonists was found.

Washington, D.C. pp. 573-574.''The unnamed blueberry GM37 lacked only flavor to make it a valuable variety. In 1930 it was cross-pollinated with the Stanley blueberry, the most delicious of all varieties. Among the progeny was a bush that attracted attention first in 1935 and again in 1936. Its berries are sweet-subacid and delicious. On July 9, 1935, the largest berry was over 21 mm in diameter, and on July 24 of that year over 23 mm. On July 24, 1936, the largest berry reached 24 mm. If the season of 1936 had been a favorable one for the development of large individual blueberries, I am confident that the berries on this plant would have reached a diameter of more than an inch. There is now only a single bush of this variety. It will be several years before it can be propagated for a throrough field test of its qualities. Nevertheless, there are circumstances that seem to make it desireable to give a name to this variety at this time. Toward the end of the present fiscal year I terminate my connection with the Department of Agriculture after 49 years of botanical research. It was the custom of Linneaus and other scientific men of his time, when a public address was given in Latin, to end the address with a Latin word that meant, 'I have spoken,' ' I have said what I have to say,' or 'I am through.' Therefore, with orthographic apologies to the southern half of the United States, I name this blueberry and end this paper with that latin word - Dixi.'Blueberry growers should be careful not to misspell the name of the 'Dixi' blueberry, for the wrong spelling 'Dixie' may give the erroneous impression that this variety is especially adapted to cultivation in the south. The ancestors of the 'Dixi' blueberry were northern plants, and although the variety may be of value as far south as North Carolina, there is every reason to expect that it will not thrive in the Gulf States.

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.

Upright bush of medium vigor Very consistent producer of quite small fruit with intense flavor and colorAfter almost 90 years of intensive breeding to make blueberries larger, lighter blue and thicker skinned we re-introduce Rubel, one of the first blueberry selections to be named. Despite the hundreds of new varieties released since 1912, this wild selection continues to be grown in many areas. Rubel offers consistent yields of small fruit borne on loose clusters, perfect for machine harvest. Rubel is well liked by processors because of its clean harvest, uniformly dark color, and low stem count. Food manufactures covet the small fruit as one of the best for muffins, yogurts, and dried products. Our newly released Rubel was carefully selected from a high producing, vigorous bush, thoroughly tested for viruses and phytoplasmas, and then tissue cultured for uniformity and vigor. We are very pleased with the results.Of additional interest to growers is Rubel's extremely high content of antioxidants, compounds that have been identified as playing a major part in improving eyesight, lowering cholesterol levels, and preventing cancer. We feel this recent research will open new markets for blueberries in general and Rubel in particular. We recommend Rubel for growers looking to mechanically harvest yet diversify their product base.

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.

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. ' Frederick V.
