Blueberries 



These blueberry plants are a source of superlatively fine 

 fruit, but also are ornamental shrubs of rare beauty. They 

 may well be used in association with their close relatives, 

 laurel and rhododendron. In pleasant contrast to the rich, 

 evergreen masses of the latter, blueberries give lightness, 

 grace and color. 



In spring, the dainty new leaves of blueberries with their 

 pinky, bronze tone are very lovely. Even more charming 

 are the carmine-tipped buds and myriads of waxy, white 

 flower bells. The berries, at first green flushed with pink 

 on the sunny side, then ripening to a lovely soft blue, are 

 exceedingly beautiful till past midsummer. To no foliage 

 does autumn bring a more glorious and lasting crimson. 

 When the gorgeous leaves drop there remain all winter 

 bright red twigs, knobby with the fat buds enfolding the 

 promise of next spring's flowers.
