DELICIOUS BLUEBERRIES 



For several years experts hove been working on and im- 

 proving the old-fashioned Blueberries. Wonderful results have 

 been obtained, just imagine the old-fashioned Blueberry or 

 "Huckleberry" three-quarters of an inch in diameter with thes* 

 Improved varieties and the increase in the amount of fruit has 

 been multiplied several times. Impossible! you vnll soy. 

 Then go to the big city markets next Jvly and see for yourself. 

 The plants we are offering should bear the second year after 

 planting and in four years you should be getting several quorti 

 from each plant. They will do better if more than one variety 

 is planted as they will cross pollinate. Try them this season. 

 These blueberry plants are a source of superlatively fin© 

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

 may well be used in association with their close relatives, 

 Icairel 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 tones are very lovely. Even more charming 

 ore the carmine-tipped buds and myriads of waxy, v/hite 

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

 the sunny side then ripening to a lovely soft blue, ore exceed- 

 ingly beautiful till past midsummer. To no foliage does autumn 

 bring a more glorious and lasting crimson. When the gorge- 

 ous leaves drop there remain all winter bright red twigs, knob- 

 by with the fat buds enfolding the promise of next spring's 

 flowers. 



Blueberries require an acid soil containing an abundance 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 growing season. Space the plants about 3 feet 

 opart if planted in a row. Setting the plants in beds 3 feet apart 

 one way and 4 to 5 feet the( other way has also been found satis- 

 factory.

CASOT. The earliest variety to fruit. Plants seldom exceed 3 feet 

 in height, making a broad low bush. The leaves are compara- 

 tively slender and a very dark green. In winter the new growth 

 is light red, over olive. Berries have a delicious sub-acid flavor. 



CONCORD. The bush is of upright habit and at 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 earlier than 

 Rubel and are fine in flavor and appearance. 



JERSEY. The bush is of vigorous habit and grows very large. The 

 winter color of the young growth is a light red over golden 

 brov/n. The berries are the largest of any here listed, are of a 

 very light blue color and ripen about the same time as Rubel. 



JUNE. A bush of slender, vigorous, upright habit with winter 

 twigs of dark red. A very large and early berry. 



PIONEER. A very fine variety ripening about one week later than 

 Cabot. 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 new growth is a de- 

 lightful red. Pioneer produces heavy crops of berries close set 

 In the cluster. They are larger than Rubel, of a medium blue 

 color and fine flavor. 



BANCOCAS. The bush of slender, vigorous, upright habit rarely 

 surpasses five feet In height. The winter twigs are a dark red. 

 The berries are somewhat larger than those of Rvibel and begin 

 to ripen several days earlier. 



BUBEL. Well-developed bushes stand 6 feet or more high, vigorous 

 and beautiful. The stems are slender, but sturdy, the older ones 

 covered with smooth, gray bark, while the winter color of the 

 young wood is a rich red. The large berries are of fine blue 

 color. Can be depended on for a good crop every year. Ripens 

 about two weeks later than Cabot.
