Welsh. I. N. J. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 21. 1881. 2. Ibid. 39. 1908. 



Grown from seed by Isaac Welsh, near Merchantville, New Jersey, who introduced it 

 about 1882. In parts of New Jersey it has superseded Cuthbert, being earlier and hardier 

 than that variety. It is of little importance elsewhere. As grown here the plants lack 

 vigor and the fruit is too small and unattractive. Plants of medium height and vigor, 

 upright, hardy and productive; suckers medium in number; canes slender, green, glabrous, 

 heavily glaucous, with glandular tips; prickles small, slender, few; flowers early; fruit below 

 medium in size, roundish conic ; drupelets medium in size, cohering strongly, medium red, 

 moderately juicy, mild, sweet; early.
