June 3, 1971 My humble thanks to you nice people for your prompt service and quality of plants even on a small order such as ours. J. F. HoLCAK, East St. Louis, BLUECROP BLUECROP WINTER HARDY—HEAVY PRODUCER This excellent midseason variety is another of the outstanding intro- ductions of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Within just a few years Bluecrop has rapidly gained an outstanding reputation as one of the best of all blueberries for commercial production. It is very winter and frost hardy and can be grown in most of the northern states. Berries are large and maintain their size through the long picking season. Yields are very heavy and quality is good. The plants are fairly upright and have a tendency to develop several stems from the ground. During winters that are unusually severe, causing direct cold injury to blueberries in some areas, also when a late frost occurs which may severely reduce the crop on some varieties, Bluecrop proved its real value by coming through with a large crop of excellent berries. This is undoubtedly one of the finest of all Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Rayner Bros. , Inc; Henry G.
