BLUEBERRIES PROVE EXTREMELY PROFIT- 

 ABLE FOR MR. A. G. BISHOP 



Vincenttown, N. J. 

 Oct. 21, 1938 

 Bountiful Ridge Nurseries, 

 Princess Anne, Md. 

 Gentlemen : 



My five acres of Blueberries produced in 1937 and 

 1938 an average of 15,000 quarts. 



Our markets here averaged from 20 to 40 cents 

 per quart depending on quality of fruit. I con- 

 sider Blueberries my best paying crop. 



Very truly, 

 A. G. Bishop 



FIG BUSHES 



Any home garden should have some figs. Sprouts and 

 suckers should be kept down and the tree pruned so 

 the trunks are clean for at least two feet from the 

 ground. They will bear better and stand more cold 

 if treated this way. 



MAGNOLIA FIG 



One of the hardiest species, 

 doing well where the win- 

 ters are not too severe. Fruit very large and of rich 

 straw color. Fruit begins to ripen the last of June and 

 continues to put on new fruit until frost. 2 to 3 feet, 

 80c each; $6.00 for 10; $50.00 for 100. 



The Aristocrat of the bush berry Family. 

 Beautiful — Delicious — Profitable. 



The large cultivated Blueberry seemingly has unlim- 

 ited possibilities as a fresh fruit or a canned berry. 

 The plants thrifty, and very productive of large de- 

 licious berries that bring high prices wherever sold. 

 Adapted to nearby and distant markets. They have a 

 place in every farm and home garden lot. We list be- 

 low the best of our present day varieties. 



Blueberries require an acid soil containing an abund- 

 ance of peat or other partially rotted vegetable matter. 

 They need a moderate supply of soil-moisture, and good 

 drainage so that the roots can get air during the grow- 

 ing season. 



Where natural Blueberry soil is not available ideal 

 conditions can be created by mixing with the surface 

 soil a liberal quantity of peat moss or partially rotted 

 leaves or sawdust or chip dirt from an old woodpile. 

 If your soil is clay the addition of sand will benefit it. 

 Plants should be mulched with leaves, straw, lawn 

 clippings or peat moss to conserve moisture. This 

 mulch should not be removed or dug into the soil. 

 Plants should be planted from three to four feet apart. 

 Two varieties should be ordered to give proper polloni- 

 zation. 



Complete cultural direction mailed upon request. 

 Note: Varieties listed in order of ripening. First fruit 

 picked in south New Jersey usually about June 15th 

 to 20th. 



f'AROT ^ ne °^ tlie earliest of the blueberries. 

 vXIDV 1 Very vigorous and develops naturally to 

 well formed plants. A favorite of the commercial grow- 

 er because of its earliness, its dependable and heavy 

 bearing habits and the large size of its well formed 

 berries. 



RANCOCAS 



PIONEER 



The bush of slender, vigorous, up- 

 right habit rarely surpasses five 

 feet in height. The winter twigs are a dark red. The 

 berries are somewhat larger than, those of Rubel and 

 begin to ripen several days earlier. 



Named by Dr. Coville of the U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture. The bushes 

 are stocky, seldom exceeding 4 feet in height with a 

 tendency to be broad rather than high. Its stems are 

 stout and stiff and the winter color of the young growth 

 is a delightful red. Pioneer produces heavy crops of 

 berries close set in the cluster. They are larger than 

 Rubel; of medium blue color and fine flavor. 



r'f^'WfORn The busn is of upright habit and at 

 V/VliVVilL' maturity exceeds six feet in height. 

 The young growth is bright red in winter. The berries 

 are large, frequently reaching three-quarters of an 

 inch in diameter. They usually ripen a few days earli- 

 er than Rubel and are fine in flavor and appearance. 



RTTRFT Wel1 developed bushes stand six feet or 

 HU.DJ-i.Li more high, vigorous and beautiful. The 

 stems are slender, but sturdy. The winter color of the 

 vounar wood is a rich red. The large berries are of a 

 fine "blue color. Planted extensively for commercial 

 fruit production. 



TFPQFV Tne bush is of vigorous habit and grows 

 JLuOLI verv large. The winter color of the young 

 growth is a light red over golden brown. The berries 

 are the largest of any here listed, of a very light blue 

 color and ripen about the same time as Rubel. 



FINE SPECIMENS— BETTER THAN WOULD HAVE SELECTED MYSELF 



Fredericksburg. Virginia 

 February 15. 1938 



Gentlemen: 



The trees arrived yesterday and they certainly appear to be nice specimens, 

 me out better trees than I could have, had I been present picking them out. 



I am satisfied you picked
