 Hedrick Cyc. Hardy Fr. 290. 1922. 

 A chance seedling found about 1900 by Thomas H. Ward, Manalapan, New Jersey ; sup- 

 posed to be a seedling of Kittatinny which it resembles, but it is superior to that sort in vigor,

 Jersey as a late variety but at this Station it is not fully hardy. Ward appeared in the last 

 catalog of the American Pomological Society in 1909. Plants tall, vigorous, upright- 

 spreading, half-hardy, moderately productive; canes stocky, green tinged reddish brown, 

 nearly glabrous; prickles medium in number, large, strong; fruit of medium size, irregular 

 cylindrical-conic, glossy black, juicy, melting, subacid; good; core hard; late.
