BURLINGTON 



VERY 

 LATE 



A very productive vigorous variety. The berries are of med- 

 ium size and of good flavor. They are very attractive, being pro- 

 duced in long, tight clusters. The berries have a very good 

 picking scar and are quite firm. The quality is good and with 

 a season about a week later than Jersey this variety is quite 

 popular. The plants are upright and spreading in shape and are 

 very hardy. The main features of Burlington are its good pro- 

 duction and a very late season. 



VERY 

 HARDY 



CONCORD 



MID 

 SEASON 



BURLINGTON 



A good variety for home gardens because the berries are of 

 fine quality and of large size. Because the berries tear some- 

 what when picked, Concord is not an especially popular com- 

 mercial variety. Berries are a deep blue color, fairly firm, and 

 have a mild, good flavor. Concord ripens in mid-season. The 

 clusters are large and very attractive. The plants are tall and 

 upright and are hardy in the northeastern states. 



VERY LARGE_ 



DiXI 



LATE 



CONCORD 



Of all the older varieties of blueberries Dixi has the largest 

 fruit. It is exceeded only by the recent U. S. Dept. of Agricul- 

 ture varieties. iSome berries of Dixi are nearly an inch in di- 

 ameter. Another feature is its excellent sweet, mild flavor. It 

 ripens in late season, a day or so after Jersey. The clusters are 

 fairly tight and attractive. Dixi is fine for home garden use, but 

 is not widely used commercially because the fruit may crack in 

 wet weather. The plants are vigorous and have an open spread- 

 ing shape.
