The plants we offer are of bearing age. We suggest from eight to twelve plants for a family of five people. Ask for and follow our free cultural directions. Plant our blueberries this year for pleasure and profit. Varieties listed in order of ripening WEYMOUTH (6501) Earliest of all. Ripens berries quickly for early markets. Fruit is above medium in size and usually of fair dessert quality. Bush erect, open, spreadmg, of average vigor. EARLIBLUE (6502) Fruit clusters of medium size; ber- ries oblate, light blue, very firm, sub-acid. Flavor very good. Earliblue ripens early, with Weymouth. Bushes are up- right, very vigorous, well shaped and good producers. STANLEY (6503) A recent development recognized in New Jersey blueberry sections as one of the outstanding blueberries. Vigorous plants, large berries, very productive. BLUERAY (6504) The fruit is large, with a medium light blue color, medium scar, fme flavor, and resists crack- ing. It matures with Ivanhoe and Rancocas. The bush is hardy and very productive. IVANHOE (6505) Fruits are large, attractive, slightly later than Stanley, with a good blue color. Flavor is good. Plants are vigorous, productive, and more tolerant of canker than Stanley. RANCOCAS (6506) The bush of slender, vigorous, up- right habit rarely surpasses 6 feet in height. Winter twigs are a dark red. The berries are somewhat larger than those of Rubel and begin to ripen several days earlier. CONCORD (6507) The bush is upright and at maturity exceeds 6 feet in height. Young growth is bright red in winter. The berries are large, frequently reaching % mch in diameter. They usually ripen a few days earlier than Rubel and are fine in flavor and appearance. The large cultivated blueberry has unlimited pos- sibilities as a fresh fruit, a canned or frozen product, or for pure ornamentation. The plants should have a place in every farm or home garden lot. Blueberries require an acid soil containing an abundance of organic material. They need a good sup- ply of soil moisture, with good drainage. Most good gardeners will mulch their plants rather than culti- vate them, since the plants are shallow rooted and do not tolerate close working. Good blueberry soil can be created by use of quan- tities o f compost or other organic material, worked into the surface of the soil. Use aluminum sulphate to bring the pH level down to an optimum 5 to 6 range. Blueberries need pollination, and at least two va- rieties should be planted. Free and complete cultural directions sent upon request. BLUECROP (6508) Fruit clusters of Bluecrop are large. Berries are roundish oblate, very light blue, very firm. Sub-acid; flavor good. Bluecrop ripens in midseason with Concord and Atlantic. Bush upright and vigorous; very consistent producer. ATLANTIC (6509) Late midseason. A cross between Jersey and Pioneer which has two outstanding traitsâone being its superior size and non-cracking during wet weather, the other is its handsome color and fine flavor. A heavy producer fruiting about with Rubel but much larger in size, better in quality and flavor. Requires less time to prune than Rubel. JERSEY (6510) The bush is vigorous and large. The winter color of the young growth is a light red over a gold- brown. Berries are the largest of any here listed, of a very light color, and ripen at the same time as Rubel. BERKELEY (6511) Fruit is light blue. Considered one of the largest blueberries yet introduced. Berries are not subject to crack, ripen about a week after Stanley. Plants are very productive. HERBERT (6512) Fruit clusters are loose; fruit ripens about the same time as Jersey, earlier than CoVille but later than Berkeley. Berries of Herbert are large and carry their size well through ripening season. Firm, resistant to crack- ing; color about the same as Jersey, Rubel and Dixi. Flavor is equal to the best varieties. Fruit hangs well on bush. Bushes flower late, are thrifty growers and consistently productive. COVILLE (6513) Selected to give larger berries of good quality and color. Ripening after Dixi, Rubel and Jersey, Coville is rated as our latest blueberry. Large, good blue color, good quality. Hangs well to clusters even when ripe, thereby requiring less picking. Thrifty plants. J^ountiful Riag^ BLUEBERRIES
