 FAVORITE 



BLUERAY 



EXTRA 

 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.

The blueberry plants I purchased in 1969 are big now and surely give 

 fine C'n6ps. Mr. Edmond G. LeClair, Woonsocket, R. I. 



WONDERFUL 

 FLAVOR 



New/ COLLINS 



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. CoUins appears to have 

 excellent prospects as a home garden berry because of its fine flavor, ex- 

 cellent quality, and dependable production. Plants are reasonably hardy 

 and should give good results in most of the New England and central 

 states.

We were well pleased with the blueberry plants we purchased last year. 

 I wish you could see how beautiful my blueberries are already. We expect 

 to have a nice crop of berries this summer. I hope we can take care of the 

 birds by using cheese cloth. We have been quite successful with it in the 

 past. We ju^t spread it over the bushes as the berries begin to ripen.

BIG 

 BERRIES 



This very late-ripening variety greatly prolongs the blueberry 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.

Have received the blueberry plants today which I recently ordered from you. 

 I would like to congratulate you on the excellent condition in which they 

 arrived {as have all previous orders I have received from you). Please be 

 sure I will recommend you to all of my friends, as I have done in the past.

VERY 

 EARLY 



EARLIBLUE 



FINE 

 QUALITY 



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 

 berry for both commercial and home use.
