NOTE: Be sure to buy your blueberry plants by graded 

 height and age rather than by age alone. The plants we 

 offer are of bearing age. 



We suggest from eight to twelve plants for a family of five 

 people. Ask for and follow our free cultural directions. Plant 

 our blueberries this year for pleasure and profit. 

 Varieties listed in order of ripening 



WEYMOUTH (6501) Earliest of all. Ripens berries 

 quickly for early markets. Fruit is above medium in size and 

 usually of fair dessert quality. Bush erect, open, spreading, 

 of average vigor. 



EARLIBLUE (6502) Fruit clusters of medium size; ber- 

 ries oblate, light blue, very firm, sub-acid. Flavor very good. 

 Earliblue ripens early, with Weymouth. Bushes are up- 

 right, very vigorous, well shaped and good producers. 



STANLEY (6503) A recent development recognized in 

 New Jersey blueberry sections as one of the outstanding 

 blueberries. Vigorous plants, large berries, very productive. 



BLUERAY (6504) The fruit is large, with a medium 

 light blue color, medium scar, fine flavor, and resists crack- 

 ing. It matures with Ivanhoe and Rancocas. The bush is 

 hardy and very productive. 



IVANHOE (6505) Fruits are large, attractive, slightly 

 later than Stanley, with a good blue color. Flavor is good. 

 Plants are vigorous, productive, and more tolerant of canker 

 than Stanley. 



RANCOCAS (6506) The bush of slender, vigorous, up- 

 right habit rarely surpasses 6 feet in height. Winter twigs 

 are a dark red. The berries are somewhat larger than those 

 of Rubel and begin to ripen several days earlier. 



CONCORD (6507) The bush is upright and at maturity 

 exceeds 6 feet in height. Young growth is bright red in 

 winter. The berries are large, frequently reaching % inch in 

 diameter. They usually ripen a few days earlier than Rubel 

 and are fine in flavor and appearance. 



The large cultivated blueberry has unlimited pos- 

 sibilities as a fresh fruit, a canned or frozen product, or 

 for pure ornamentation. The plants should have a 

 place in every farm or home garden lot. 



Blueberries require an acid soil containing an 

 abundance of organic material. They need a good sup- 

 ply of soil moisture, with good drainage. Most good 

 gardeners will mulch their plants rather than culti- 

 vate them, since the plants are shallow rooted and do 

 not tolerate close working. 



Good blueberry soil can be created by use of quan- 

 tities of compost or other organic material, worked into 

 the surface of the soil. Use aluminum sulphate to bring 

 the pH level down to an optimum 5 to 6 range. 



Blueberries need pollination, and at least two va- 

 rieties should be planted. Free and complete cultural 

 directions sent upon request.
