BLUEBERRIES ARE ORNAMENTAL AS WELL AS HIGHLY PROFITABLE 



I CABOT (Early) One of the earliest of all varieties, this highly 

 prolific blueberry plant is an established favorite with growers. Its 

 dependable and heavy bearing habits, coupled with the extra large 

 size of its well formed attractive berries, account for Cabot's popu- 

 larity. A vigorous grower, Cabot develops naturally to well formed 

 plants. 





CULTU 



EVERY ORDER 



I RANCOCAS (Medium Early) This unusually heavy fruiting 

 variety has a tendency to produce extra heavy crops on young plants. 

 In fact, the yield is so heavy that special care must be taken to prune 

 the bushes severely in order to insure a good crop in the following 

 year. Rancocas ripens later than Cabot but earlier than Stanley, and 

 the berries often exceed 19 mm in size. 



^ CONCORD (Mid-season) Often attaining height is excess of six feet, 

 Concord is of upright habit and matures at about the same time as Stanley. 

 Its berries are often three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and when its large 

 clusters all ripen at the same time, they resemble Concord grapes. Concord 

 berries are delicious to the taste, and if allowed to remain on the bush until 

 they are fully ripe, they lose the excessive acidity they possess when they first 

 turn blue. Not only does Concord possess tremendous commercial value, but 

 it is also an attractive, eye-catching, ornamental plant. 



STANLEY (Early Mid-season) This grand variety has replaced the Pioneer, 



blueberry as far as the better grower is concerned. Stanley is a very vigorous, tall 

 growing plant, and is a good pollenizer for other varieties. Beautiful foliage pro- 

 ducer of very large berries, that is considered to be the best flavored of all. 



* RUBEL (Large Mid-season Variety) Recognized as the best of all com- 

 mercial varieties, Rubel is undoubtedly one of the finest of the wild selections. 

 The bush is upright, very vigorous, hardy and productive. Many of the pres- 

 ent hybrid varieties can trace their parentage to this variety. Rubel is widely 

 planted, and a profitable and popular favorite with thousands of commercial 

 growers because of the excellent, though somewhat acidy, quality of its berries, 

 which not only ship well but are in constant demand. With Rubel blueberries 

 as your product — you can't miss in a profit yielding market. 



™ JERSEY (Season Late) The berries of Jersey are unquestionably the 

 largest of all the varieties, however until dead ripe, they are too acid for the 

 taste of most persons. Jersey is a firm, robust berry that stands up well in 

 transit, and is considered by growers to be one of the leading late varieties. 

 Its light blue berries ripen about one week later than Rubel, and Jersey's 

 remarkably beautiful growth also makes it attractive as an ornamental plant 

 when grown in any home garden.
