Old-Fashioned Blueberries! 
W HAT memories the words recall! Summer in the New 
England hills; sturdy bushes drooping under their 
weight of purplish fruit. The country breakfast table; a 
bowl of cool, luscious berries, crisp in their sugar and yel¬ 
low cream. Evening, and the indescribable, heaven-sent 
tang and richness of old-fashioned, genuine blueberry pie! 
These and a dozen other cherished recollections can live 
again for you next summer in your own home, straight 
from your own bit of garden out there beyond the open 
casement windows. Yes, and bring even greater joy to 
you, for the home-grown fruit gathered from your bushes 
of Mayo’s old-fashioned Blueberries will be larger, richer 
in creamy juice, more delectable in every way than you 
ever imagined blueberries could be. 
Our blueberries are the famous New England type, 
grown in the heart of the Berkshire Hills, where winter 
temperatures of thirty to forty degrees below zero occur, 
and their hardiness is unquestioned. This is an important 
point to take into consideration in buying blueberries. 
We do not sell hybrid blueberries; ours are the New 
England “just blueberries,” producing fruit such as most 
of our patrons have had an opportunity to taste at some 
time or other in blueberry pie, once eaten, never forgotten, 
and leaving a great desire to grow them in your own 
home garden. 
Plant them now, and they will delight you and yours 
for years to come. In autumn their brilliant foliage will 
flaunt gaily in salute to the shortening days. All winter 
the fine red tracery of their twigs will weave across the 
snow. With spring comes the delicacy of unfolding leaves, 
and, capping their career, summer brings the greatest jov 
of all, the mellow bounty of their fruit. They’re readv 
now, awaiting the call to come into your garden and serve 
you faithfully and well.
