Abstract:
The vigor and productivity of
plants of the rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium
ashei) set in 1925 at the
Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment
Station, Tifton, Georgia, indicated
commercial possibilities.
A collection
of these varieties selected from the
wild in Florida and Georgia was made
and a breeding program, in cooperation
with the U. S. D. A., was begun in
1940. Since initiation of this program,
about 16,000 seedlings have fruited, an
additional 6,000 were set in the field
during the past two years, and 1,500
other seedlings have been potted from
crosses made during 1959.
