JERSEY 



JERSEY 



There is probably more acreage planted to Jersey than any 

 other blueberry. This variety is well liked by commercial si'ow- 

 ers because the berries are large, firm, of high quality, and have 

 a very good picking scar. The clusters are long and loose and 

 very attractive. Jersey ripens late and produces very high yields. 

 The plants are very strong and erect and the new wood has an 

 attractive yellow bark. It is especially hardy to both low winter 

 temperature and to frost. We recommend Jersey as an excellent 

 variety for both commercial and home use in the northeastern 

 and central states. Its wonderful flavor is liked by all. 



JUNE 



PEMBERTON 



RANCOCAS 



An early variety that has been quite popular. The berries 

 are small to medium size and of dark blue color. The flavor is 

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

 and long. The plants are slower growing than most varieties 

 and not as vigorous. In general June is being replaced by other 

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

 its fine, sweet flavor. 



PEMBERTON 



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 fine 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.
