they are fully ripened, they lose the 
excessive acidity they possess when they 
first turn blue. Not only does Concord 
possess tremendous commercial value but 
it is also an attractive, eye catching 
ornamental plant. 
“S DIXIE: Extra good producer, of large 
beriics. Medium blue in color. Very good 
dessert quality. 
N IVANHOE: Produces berries as large 
as Dixie, with very good flavor. 
VATLANTIC: Next to Dixie in size of 
berry, it is lighter blue in color, of very 
good quality and an excellent shipper. 
“ BLUECROP: Ripens about same time as 
Dixie. The berries are light blue in color, 
a little larger than Jersey, of good flavor 
with a slight aroma. The bush is vigorous 
with somewhat slender growth when 
young. 
“PEMBERTON: Considered the most 
vigorous of all. A hardy grower of large 
firm berries with wonderful dessert and 
freezing qualities. 
“ RUBEL: Undoubtedly one of the finest 
of the wild selections. The bush is up- 
right, very vigorous, hardy and productive. 
Rubel is widely planted and a profitable 
and popular favorite with thousands of 
commercial growers because of the ex- 
cellent though somewhat acidity quality 
of it’s berries which not only ship well, 
but are in constant demand. 
~.S BERKELEY: A newer variety producing 
berries as large as Dixie and lighter in 
color. A vigorous grower, a variety worth 
considering for commercial planting. 
“. JERSEY: An old standby of commercial 
growers. Jersey is a firm robust berry 
that stands up well in transit, and is 
considered by growers to be one of the 
leading late varieties. It’s light blue 
berries ripen about the same time as 
Rubel, end Jersey’s remarkably beautiful 
growth also makes it attractive as an 
ornamental plant when grown in any 
home garden.
