BLUERAY | 
EXTRA VIGOROUS—WINTER HARDY | 
This early variety includes as parents such fine old varieties as Jersey, 
Pioneer, Stanley, and June and is closely related to Bluecrop. It was re- 
leased in 1955 by the U. 8S. D. A. and the New Jersey Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station. Since then it has gained rapid acceptance as a com- 
mercial berry because of its unusual vigor and tremendous yields of 
large berries. Blueray has good winter hardiness, giving fine results in 
Michigan and the New England states.

MIDSEASON 
BLUECROP 
WINTER HARDY—HEAVY PRODUCER 
This excellent midseason variety is another of the outstanding intro- 
ductions of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Within just a few 
years Bluecrop has rapidly gained an outstanding reputation as one of 
the best of all blueberries for commercial production. It is very winter 
and frost hardy and can be grown in most of the northern states. Berries 
are large and maintain their size through the long picking season. Yields 
are very heavy and quality is good. The plants are fairly upright and 
have a tendency to develop several stems from the ground. 
During winters that are unusually severe, causing direct cold injury 
to blueberries in some areas, also when a late frost occurs which may 
severely reduce the crop on some varieties, Bluecrop proved its real 
value by coming through with a large crop of excellent berries. This is _ 
undoubtedly one of the finest of all blueberries.
