Plate XIV. 







Cluster of Blueberries on a 3-Year-Old Hybrid. 



This cluster of berries, which is of natural size, is from one of the hybrid bushes shown 

 in Plate XV. The berries had a very light blue color, firm but juicy flesh, exceptionally 

 delicious flavor, and seeds so small as not to be noticeable when the berries were eaten. 

 The largest berry on this bush was 15 millimeters in diameter. Other bushes in the 

 plantation bore berries 17 millimeters in diameter, larger than those of either parent. 

 The small berries on the cluster were still green. Such berries increase rapidly in size 

 during the few days of ripening.
