Yields are very heavy and quality is good. The plants are fairly upright and have a tendency to develop several stems from the ground.

It ripens in midseason, pro- ducing large loose clusters of the biggest, most beautiful blueberries you have ever seen. Unlike some varieties, the flavor is good almost as soon as it turns blue. Our local customers call for Berkeley when we are picking. They want the best. They want Berkeley. We have one cus- tomer who drives over 150 miles to our field to get Berkeley blueberries. Plants of Berkeley are very vigorous and have an excellent semi- spreading shape and usually a heavy main stem. The leaves are very large and very attractive in summer and fall. For all but the most northern states, we strongly recommend Berkeley as an outstanding blueberry. 32 BLUEBERRIES RESPOND FAVORABLY TO MULCHING.
