FAVORITE VIGOROUS 
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. S. 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.

In 1959 this variety was released by the U.S.D.A. and the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. It is a cross between Stanley and Weymouth and 
_ripens midway between Earliblue and Bluecrop. Berries 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, ex- 
i = 
- cellent quality, and dependable production. Plants are reasonably hardy 
and should give good results in most of the New England and central 
states.

a LATE:, : BERRIES 
This ‘very late-ripening ety pretty prolongs ane Bldcbeners 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 Co- 
ville 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.

_ Two years ago I bought some of Rayner’s blueberry plants and they 
are beautiful. I picked quite a few quarts last year.

This excellent commercial berry is about as early as Weymouth and 
has many fine commercial features. The berries are large and ripen uni- 
formly in big, tight clusters. The picking scar is good and berries are re- 
sistant to cracking. Of special interest to home gardeners is the mild 
sweet flavor of. Earliblue. Plants are vigorous and have fine upright 
growth. This variety has good cold resistance and has proven to be a fine 
| herry-for hoth-commercial and home use.
