Frederick Vernon Coville Records on Blueberries. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.

Frederick Vernon Coville (1867-1937) worked for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as assistant botanist from 1888 to 1893, and as botanist from 1893 to1937. He was instrumental in the establishment of the U.S. National Arboretum in 1927. He was the first scientist to discover the importance of soil acidity on the growth of blueberries, as well as the impact of cold temperatures on plants. Through his early work on crossing blueberry plants, he was responsible for the commercial production of blueberries.
