BLUEBERRIES 
ARE ORNAMENTAL AS WELL AS PROFITABLE 
Every Home And Farm Should Have Blueberries 
& 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 Cabots popu- 
larity. A vigorous grower, Cabot develops naturally to well formed 
plants. 
e 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 in 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.

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.

mercial varieties, Rubel is undoubtedly one of the finest of the wild selections. T 1]

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

© JERSEY (Season Late) The berries of Jersey are unquestionably the FROM 
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 MAINE TO 
transit, and is considered by growers to be one of the leading late varieties. 2 te
