CABOT — This variety is early and doesn’t make a big tall bush. 
Usually about 4 to 5 feet tall. It has the style and flavor to match any 
fruit and any market. 
our customers to make sure we do him a good job. 
JERSEY — A late big blueberry. It is a good canning, freezing, and 
shipping berry. Really a general purpose berry. AS an ornamental bush it 
has the style of any ornamental tree. 
BURLINGTON — Bush vigor and upright. Spread with large leaves. 
The fruit is a good blue color. It’s flavor carries the dessert qualities of 
any fruit. Doesn’t leave your taste wishing for something else. 
RANCOCAS — A big rugged bush shoulder high. It is dependable in 
production, in qualities, style, and beauty. I wish to say it will give a lot 
of pleasure and profit and no trouble to grow. 
RUBEL — We believe the Rubel is about the widest planted blueberry 
that we know of. It is hardy and productive, light blue, very firm, and 
ships well. The bush grows up in a desirable manner. 
DIXIE — The largest blueberry ever introduced. They are larger 
than a nickel. You can’t doubt it as we have plenty of proof. Not as 
extensively planted as Rancocas, Rubel, and Jersey. 
ATLANTIC -— Next to Dixie in size, bush grows like you want a busn 
to grow. The berries are firm and have good dessert qualities. It also 
has the shipping qualities. 
Pemberton — Ranks them in size and a very healthy growing bush. 
A large producer with all of the good qualities for dessert. 
The Blueberries are a comparatively new branch of agriculture to 
the farmers of America. The U. S. Department of Agriculture test plot 
is located right here in the neighborhood. We are personal friends of 
the manager of the government test plot. He is also a large grower of 
Blueberries. 
The blueberry has alarmed the land in pleasure, profit and food 
value. Large canning and freezing plants buy them by truck loads here. 
It is fun to grow them and fun to show them to your neighbors. When 
you go to eat them there is so much nature to the looks of them and 
to the flavor that you will forget all other fruits and think about the 
great Blueberry. 
BLUEBERRY CULTURE 
You should have two different varieties near each other, then they 
are both benefited through the blossom pollination. 
The land should be damp, but well drained, with the plants set either 
4 feet by 10 feet or 6 feet by 6 feet and remember that it is to bear 
fruit for 70 years or more. Blueberries will grow from North Carolina 
to Alaska. Anywhere huckleberries, Azeleas or Mountain Laurel grows 
so will blueberries. Don’t use lime or stable manure, but if you do want 
to have the best blueberries in your community get leaves and rotted 
limbs from the swamp and put around the plant. This keeps weeds down 
and moisture up. The secret in growing them is to keep the ground 
worked often and Shallow so that the air can penetrate into the soil. 
This is one subject that we should be in a position to answer your 
questions about as we have the government test plot for our neighbor.
