BLUEBERRIES
COMMERCIAL VALUE SUPPLIES FROM AMERICA BIG FUTURE BEFORE PRODUCTION (Per United Press Association.) Nelson, January 17. In connection with blueberries grown in Canterbury from plants brought from America some time ago by Dr. Tillyard, chief biologist of the Oawthron Institute Professor Tillyard stated to-da v that he had returned from America the other day more than ever impressed with the commercial value of blueberries. Immense quantities were being sent t-o American markets, and the demand was rapidly increasing in all big cities. While in Washington Professor Tillyard purchased a further supply of plants and these will be sent to New Zealand later in the year and arrangements made for experimental tests. Professor Tillyard expressed great pleasure and interest in the fruiting of the blueberry at Belfast, and he is expecting early information concerning the remaining plants.
