JeOur Custome 1 - 
Despite claims to the contrary by some, 
we were the first to establish the cultivated 
Blueberry commercially, west of the “Rocky. 
Mountains.” We pioneered the Blueberry 
industry and markets along the Pacific 
Coast. 
That our efforts have been successful is 
proven by the ever increasing demand for — 
Blueberries as well as Blueberry plants. 
Our first planting, made in the spring of 
1923 consisted of Rubel, Grover, Harding 
and Pioneer, considered good varieties at 
that time, but, which we feel are now out 
of date. 
In 1936 we acquired acreage in the central 
Coastal Region of California and planted 
same to Blueberries. This plantation was a 
success from the very beginning. 
By 1940 the demand for blueberries and 
Blueberry plants had reached such propor- 
tions that we were again compelled to ex- 
pand. 
Fortunately we were able to secure suitable 
land for a new location not too far distant 
from the old Home Place. 
Our many years of experience in Blueberry 
culture have proven very helpful to us in 
selecting the varieties best suited to the 
Pacific Slope and of which our new plant- 
-ing consists. 
We are rapidly enlarging our plantation 
with these new and superior varieties, a 
number of which originated in our own trial © 
grounds. 
Hundreds of visitors, some from as far 
away as the Atlantic Coast and even Europe 
have told us that we have the finest selec- 
tion of varieties they have seen anywhere. 
Since our location is somewhat isolated and 
Wwe produce our own plants and cutting 
wood, we have so far escaped the numerous 
diseases which are now making serious in- 
roads on blueberry plantations in some sec- 
tions of the United States.
