BLUEBERRIES 



The Famous Money Makers - Leads All Bush Fruits In Profit 



For profit and for permanence the cultivated blueberry is without an equal. The foliage, blossoms, 

 fruit, and even the dormant wood are all very beautiful, thus it is as ornamental as it is useful in the 

 home planting. The latest of native American fruits to be developed through breeding, cultivated blue- 

 berries hold promise to soon be the most important as well as most profitable bush fruit? From our plant- 

 ing this year, our prices ranged from 36c to 60c per quart on the New York Wholesale market, this 

 was only the third year but the yield was over 800 quarts per acre. Is there any wonder we are en- 

 thusiastic about blueberries. 



Our blueberry plants are grown here on our nurseries, are propogated from carefully selected cut- 

 tings of the heaviest yielding plants. This is your assurance that Rayner's Blueberry Plants are best.
