An early variety that has been (inite popular. The berries 

 are small to medinm size and of dark blue color. The tlavor is 

 sweet and the overall quality is ^ood. Clusters of June are open 

 and lonj?. The plants are slower ^rowinj^- than most varieties 

 and not as vigorous. In jieneral June is bein^' replaced by other 

 early varieties. However, June is still grown by many who like 

 its tine, sweet 11a vor. 



PEMBERTON 



RANCOCAS 



A late midseason variety that ripens just before Jersey. 

 The berries are of medium size and have a blue attractive color. 

 They are produced on fairly long open clusters. Berries of Pem- 

 berton are tine for home gardens since they are juicy and have 

 a good, mild flavor. One excellent feature of Pemberton is the 

 vigorous, erect bush with large, attractive leaves. Production of 

 Pemberton is good and it is a good hardy variety. Pemberton is 

 still widely planted as a commercial variety, but its poor pick- 

 ing scar makes it better suited for home gardens or other situa- 

 tions where the berries are used soon after they are picked. 



RANCOCAS 



A standard commercial blueberry variety being widely plant- 

 ed because of its hardiness and dependable production. It is an 

 early variety and is a heavy cropper. The berries are of medium 

 size and are light blue at first, but later become dark blue. They 

 are produced in very tight clusters that are quite attractive. 

 Rancocas is a hardy, very vigorous plant that has tall upright 

 growth. It is recognizable from most other varieties by slight, 

 saw-tooth edges of the leaves. 



RUBEL 



RUBEL, 



The only regular blueberry that is a selection from a wild 

 type. Thus, it has the good sweet taste that we associate with 

 the wild huckleberry. The berries are medium sized and are pro- 

 duced in long, loose clusters. They have a good blue color, a 

 lirm texture, and a good picking scar. Rubel is a late variety, 

 ripening just before Jersey. It is hardy and productive in the 

 north, yet grown to a considerable extent as far south as North 

 Carolina.
