From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth Coleman White (1871 - 1954) was a New Jersey agricultural specialist who was one of the first to commercialize blueberries.
She grew up on her father's cranberry farm in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and developed an interest in commercial agriculture. In 1911, she became interested in blueberry propagation and, using her father's farm in Whitesbog, New Jersey, she collaborated with Federick Coville to develop a commercial blueberry based on the wild varieties. They developed a commercial variety in 1916.
