PTOMFFR Named by Dr. Covillo of 

 ri\JV\s:tS:*n. the U. S. Department 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 Kubel; of medium blue color and 

 tine flavor. 



OT H 'MT PY A recent development fast 

 *^ ■*■ ■*^* '""■*-' ■*■ being recognized in New 

 Jersey Blueberry section as one of the out- 

 standing Blueberries. Vigorous plants, 

 large berries, very productive.

 ITLUlJi-iij six feet or more high, vigor- 

 ous and beautiful. The stems are slender, 

 but sturdy. The winter color of the young 

 wood is a rich red. The large berries are 

 of a fine blue color. Planted extensively 

 for commercial fruit production. 



JERSEY 



The bush is of vigorous 

 habit and grows very large. 

 The winter color of the young growth is 

 a light red over a golden brown. The 

 berries are the largest of any here listed, 

 of a very light blue color and ripen the 

 same time as Rubel. 



HTTRTTNt^TON originated as a 

 DUniiilNV^i^iX cross between Ru- 

 bel and Pioneer. The picking quality of 

 the Burlington is superior to many, due 

 to complete separation of berry from stem. 

 It ripens later than Jersey or Rubel and 

 because of good keeping qualities may ex- 

 tend the season 10 days. The fruit is above 

 average dessert quality, being surpassed 

 only by Stanley, according to most author- 

 ities. The bush is erect, vigorous and 

 seems very healthy. The berries are a 

 good blue color, medium to large and hold 

 up in size to the end of the season. Re- 

 commended for trial in all sections.
