This early variety indiules as parents such line old varieties as 

 Jersey, Pioneer, Stanley, and June and is closely related to lilne- 

 crop. It was released in 1055 by the U. S. D. A. and the New 

 Jersey A^a-icnltiire Experiment Station. Since then it has j^ained

WONDERFUL 

 FLAVOR 



In 11)59 this variety was released by the V. S. D. xV. and the 

 N. J. Experiment station. It is a cross between Stanley and 

 Weymouth and ripens midway between Earliblue and Bluecrop. 

 lierries are large, firm, light blue in color, and have a mild sweet 

 flavor. Collins appears to have excellent prospects as a home 

 garden berry because of its fine flavor, excellent quality, and de- 

 pendable production. Plants are reasonably hardy and should 

 give good results in most of the New England and central states.

 LATE 



COVILLE 



BIG 

 BERRIES 



This very late ripening variety greatly prolongs the blueberry 

 season. Under our conditions we begin to pick Earliblue about 

 June 10 and Coville in early July. Berries are large and very 

 attractive and continue to ripen for several weeks. Good flavor 

 does not usually develop in Coville until after the berries have 

 fully ripened but allow them to remain for a week after turning 

 blue and the quality can be very good.

VERY 

 EARLY 



EARLIBLUE 



FINE 

 QUALITY 



This excellent commercial berry is about as early as Weymouth 

 and has many tine commercial features. The berries are large 

 and ripen uniformly in big, tight clusters. The picking scar is 

 good and berries are resistant to cracking. Of special interest 

 to home gardeners is the mild sweet flavor of Earliblue. Plants 

 are vigorous and have a tine upright growth. This variety has 

 good cold resistance and has proven to be a fine berry both for 

 commercial and home use.
