HANDSOME CLUSTER OF BLUEBERRIES FROM A REJECTED HYBRID. 
Among the thousands of hybrids fruited at Whitesbog, N. J., hundreds produce berries as 
large and as handsome as these, yet although they are superior to all wild berries except : 
the very best they are not regarded a s of sufficiently high quality to merit selection and I 
propagation when judged from the high standard set for hybrid blueberries. However, 
from unselected hybrid bushes of this class a yield of berries was obtained in 1919 at the 
rate of 96 bushels peracre. They sold ata little over $10 a bushel, bringing gross receipts 
at therate of $966 per acre. In 1920 this planting yielded at the rate of 117 bushels per 
acre, which sold at a little less than $11 a bushel, yielding gross receipts at the rate of 
$1,280 per acre.
