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 

 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 rem.ains all winter bright red twigs, knobby with 

 the fat buds enfolding the promise of next spring's flowers, and 

 what is much more important a crop of the most delicious fruit 

 you ever tasted. They are a real money-making crop. ,
