Blueberries 
Blueberries have come io the 
front as a best seller during the 
past two seasons. Order early. 
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 
pink, 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 remains all winter bright red twigs, knobby with 
the fat buds enfolding the promise of next spring’s flowers, and 
what is much mere important a crop of the most delicious fruit 
you ever tasted. They are a real money-making crop. .

Descrintion of Varieties 
BURLINGTON. This is one of the newer varieties. Berries are 
excellent flavor, very large size and quite uniform. An 
unusually good keeper. Bush is medium high and crops 
heavily, and later in the season than other late varieties. 
CABOT. A very early variety. Plants seldom exceed three feet 
in height and make a broad low bush. The color of the new 
growih in winter is a light red over olive. The large berries 
have a delicious sub-acid flavor. Can only furnish this 
in 6 to 12 in. and 12 to 18 in. sizes. 
. CONCORD. The bush is of upright habit and at maturity ex- 
ceeds 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 very fine in flavor. 
JERSEY. The bush is of vigorous habit and grows very large. 
The winter color of the young growth is a light red over 
golden brown. The berries are among the very largest, light 
blue and ripen about the same time as Rubel. 
JUNE. A little earlier than Cabot. Berry is large, of medium 
blue color, sweet and delicious when fully ripe, with a 
slight sub-acidity. Newer and probably better than Cabot. 
RANCOCAS. The bush of slender, vigorous, upright habit rare- 
ly surpasses five feet in height. The winter twigs are dark 
red. The berries are somewhat larger than those of Rubel 
and begin to ripen several days earlier. 
RUBEL. A vigorous, productive variety. Well developed bush- 
es stand six feet high and the winter color of the young wcod 
is a rich red. The large berries of fine color are usually 
ready to pick the first week in July. 
STANLEY. Some consider this the most delicious of all the 
blueberries. Produces good yields of large berries in mid- 
season. This is one of the newer varieties. 
WEYMOUTH. The earliest of the Hybrid Blueberries. A cross 
between June and Cabot. The berries have only a moderate 
decree of acidity, and they are sweet, subacid, and delicious. 
A new iniroduction and we offer a limited supply at $1.00 
eacn in the 12 to 18 in. size.
