A) CULTIVATED BLUEEL- 
These blue iis are 
a source of sup © veiy fine 
fruit, but also are ornamental 
shrubs of rare beauty. They 
may well be used in associa- 
tion with their close relatives, 
laurel and rhododendron. In 
pleasant contrast to the rich, 
evergreen masses of the latter, 
blueberries give lightness, 
grace and color. 
In spring the dainty 
new leaves of blue- 
berries with their 
pinky, bronze tones 
are very lovely. Even 
more charming are 
the  carmine-tipped 
buds and myriads of 
waxy, white flower 
bells. The berries, at 
first green flushed 
with pink on the sunny side 
then ripening to a lovely soft 
blue, are exceedingly beauti- 
ful till past midsummer. To no 
foliage does autumn bring a 
more glorious and lasting 
crimson. When the gorgeous 
leaves drop there remain all 
winter bright red _ twigs, 
knobby with the fat buds en- 
folding the promise of next 
spring's flowers. 
In choosing the varieties 
the size of the berry was 
naturally an important con- 
sideration. As much care, however, has been devoted to 
securing plants of superior vigor, hardiness and productive- 
ness with fruit of superlative flavor, fine aroma and delightful 
texture. 
Flavor varies considerably with locality and season besides 
being a matter of individual taste. Relative ripening time of 
the different varieties also varies with locality and season; 
so the timing of the following is approximate only.
