Champion (of Michigan), i. Mich. Sta. Bui. 143:187. 1897. 2. U. S. D. A. Yearbook 

 479. 1908. 



This is an early variety which originated with Eugene Gibson in western Michigan 

 and was introduced by him about 1887. The variety was subject to mildew and the 

 fruit proved to be of so little value that the sort was soon dropped from cultivation. The 

 leaves are serrate and the stone clings. Although very different from the well-known 

 Champion of Illinois, it was at first sold for the latter, much to the disappointment of 

 buyers.
