BLUEBERRIES 
RANCOCAS 
One of the best early varieties. Bushes are slender, dark red, and upright, 
holding themselves well, and making attractive ornamental plants. Also a 
good commercial berry. Developed plants grow to be 5 or 6 feet tall. Berries 
are larger than the Rubel. Very prolific. 
RUBEL 
‘One of the older of the named varieties. Very hardy, vigorous and produc- 
tive and has long been one of the leading home berries. Bushes are a little 
larger than the Rancocas, tall, upright and rich red. Fruit is medium size, 
firm, ripens almost all at one time in midseason. 
GROVER 
A late season, vigorous, upright grower, rising to 8 feet and more in height. 
Will stand many hardships. Does well on upland ground when soil is prop- 
erly prepared. Reddish green bush. Fruit about the size of Rancocas. 
PIONEER 
Midseason to late producer yielding a very heavy crop. Fruit is large and of 
fine color extending in long clusters. Medium upright bush about the size 
of the Rubel at maturity, dark red in color. 
HARDING 
~Midseason to late producer with fruit similar to the Pioneer. Medium up- 
right bush, reddish green, vigorous, obtaining maturity around 4 to 5 feet 
in height. Because of its enormous production it has a place as a home 
berry. 25 
ASPARAGUS 
MARY WASHINGTON 
Best of the Washington varieties. Superior because it holds a tight bud 
longer than other varieties. Stalks 
are heavy and often more than 
an inch in diameter. Early, rust 
resistant. Although it does not 
yield as many stalks as other 
Strains, the larger stalks make 
the yield in pounds per acre con- 
siderably greater than most other 
varieties. 
PALMETTO 
One of the older types which is 
a very heavy producer but is 
nevertheless being replaced I 
other varieties because it is not 
as rust resistant as the Mary 
Washington.
