r.70 NE.. BLUEBERRIES INTRODUCED 



Tv/c new varieties of cultivated blueberries, Berkeley and Coville, have 

 recently been named and introduced by the Bureau of Plant Industry'', Soils and 

 Agricultural Engineering of the U.S.D.A. and the New Jersey Agricultural Experi;r.eiit 

 Station. 



The Berkeley, tested as U-85, was named after Berkeley township in New Jersey. 

 The Coville, tested as DN-76, vias named in honor of the late Dr. Fredrick V. Ccville, 

 who started the pioneering vrork which developed into the present cultivated blue- 

 berry industry. 



The frllowing are the official descriptions: 



"The BERKELEY (U-65) is a seedling resulting from a cross of Stanley x GS-1U9 

 (Jersey x Pioneer). It v/as selected in 1938 at V/eymouth, New Jersey and has been 

 tested and propagated 1\ the years since. The Berkeley ripens about a week later 

 than Stanley and a week before Jersey. The berries are lighter blue and also 

 larger than any variety now in the trade. The berries are firm and the flavor 

 medium vath some aroma. The clusters are rather open and loose and the berries are 

 not subject to cracking. The bush is a vigorous, good grower and it has been 

 productive. It has been easy to propagate.
