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.
