VERY 

 HARDY 



HERBERT 



BIG 

 AND LATE 



Herbert is very different in appearance from most blueberries since its 

 fruit has a shiny black luster and a flattened shape. These extra large 

 berries ripen late in the season in loose clusters and have very good 

 quality. Bushes are vigorous and produce heavy crops. Of much im- 

 portance is the winter hardiness which permits Herbert to be grown 

 in most of the northern states. It is a good variety for home gardeners 

 since it combines winter hardiness, large berry size, good production, 

 and fine quality. Ripens about a week before Coville.

May 5, 1967 



/ placed an order with you people in February and received the blueberry 

 plants in March. I wish to tell you at this time of all the nursery stock! 

 have bought, yours was the best packaged and arrived in the best condition 

 that I have ever received. The bushes are growing very well and you will 

 always be remembered by me; also my friends who will hear about your 

 nursery through me.

"(VANHOE 



BEAUTIFUL 

 CLUSTERS 



UNUSUAL 

 FLAVOR 



IVANHOE 



Ivanhoe is outstanding because of its unusually beautiful berry clus- 

 ters which look much like bunches of blue grapes. Another feature is the 

 wonderful fruity flavor. However, this flavor does not develop until 

 the berries are fully ripe, which is about a week after they first turn 

 blue. The berries are very large and have a dark blue color. Plants 

 of Ivanhoe grow very rapidly and have a fine appearance. And for flavor 

 we believe that a ripe Ivanhoe is one of the best of all blueberries.

Extra-Large Plants of Hybrid Blueberries 4 to 5-yr., 24 to 36 in. 



We have a limited supply of big, 4 to 5-year plants of BERKELEY, BLUERAY, EARLIBLUE, IVAN- 

 HOE, and COVILLE. They have already produced at least two nice crops of berries and are loaded with 

 fruit buds for the next crop. But for good results with these large plants remove about half of the total 

 top growth and allow only a small crop to develop. This will allow the root system to become well estab- 

 lished and give best results in succeeding years. You will be amazed at the big, delicious berries these 

 hybrid varieties will yield. 



PRICES: $3.95 each; 3 for $10.95, plus postage. Be sure to follow instructions on page 34.

NO MATTER HOW 

 MUCH \0V PA^ 



You will never buy berries as good as the fresh harvests of your 

 own locality. With "shlpped-in" berries the quality and flavor can- 

 not match the vine-ripened perfection right out of the patch. That's 

 why more and more folks grow their own. Grow more! Save more! 

 Have more!
