     Elias Wade Durand [Du292] He bred strawberries! (as well as being an artist)

"Elias W. Durand of Irvington, New Jersey, a suburb of Newark, was an artist who for reasons of health had to seek an out-of-door life. Beginning about 1857 through his friendship with Seth Boyden, a strawberry grower and breeder, he also grew strawberries and made many hand-made crosses to originate varieties that were introduced between 1865 and 1880. His most important variety was New Jersey Scarlet, introduced in 1868, which was the pollen parent of Crescent, and which with Hovey and Howard 17 are the three great ancestors of modern strawberries. So far as can be determined now, New Jersey Scarlet was very similar to Large Early Scarlet but was described by Fletcher as conic instead of roundish oval. It is supposed, but not known, to be a pure Virginian." [G.M. Darrow, The Strawberry: History, Breeding and Physiology, online at http://www.nal.usda.gov/pgdic/Strawberry/book/boktwel.htm]

Also, from same reference:

"New Jersey Scarlet and Large Early Scarlet. The variety grown by Wm. Parmalee in Connecticut when he found Crescent was New Jersey Scarlet, originated by E.W. Durand (see Chapter 12) at Irvington, New Jersey, and introduced in 1868. Fletcher (1916) considered it practically the same as Old Scarlet, which about 1624, over 200 years earlier, was introduced into Europe where it was assumed to be the same as Little Scarlet, a variety still grown slightly in Europe for preserves. New Jersey Scarlet was described by Fletcher as having medium-sized, conic, necked, light scarlet berries with whitish medium-firm flesh with a good mild sub-acid flavor and it was early in season. Little Scarlet, like Old Scarlet, has similar but roundish berries (Fig. 9-2). Large Early Scarlet was also similar, but had earlier and larger fruit. It also was highly prized for preserves and its plants were notably hardy."
Elias was born at Corner Broadway & Canal, New York City, New York, New York, USA, on 12 December 1824.¹
