BERKELEY 



MOST 

 BEAUTIFUL 



This is our selection for the best of all home garden blueberries. It 

 ripens in midseason, producing large, loose clusters of the biggest, most 

 beautiful blueberries you have ever seen. Unlike some varieties, the 

 flavor is good almost as soon as the berry turns blue. Plants of Berkeley 

 are very vigorous and have an excellent semi-spreading shape and 

 usually a heavy main stem. The leaves are very large and very attrac- 

 tive in summer and fall. For all but the most northern states, we 

 strongly recommend Berkeley as an outstanding blueberry.

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. 



This past winter was unusually severe, causing direct cold injury to 

 blueberries in some areas. In addition there were several frosts in late 

 May which severely reduced the crop of some varieties. But Bluecrop 

 proved its real value by coming through with a tremendous crop of 

 excellent berries. This is undoubtedly one of the finest of all blueberries.
