 North Star Dwarf Cherry
from Burgess Seed & Plant Company

Beautiful little trees grow only 6-8 feet tall but produce full size fruit. This wonderful North Star pie cherry produces incredibly large, sour fruit with light red skin, perfect for pies and pastries.

North Star isself-fruitful and does not need a pollinator but will do even better by planting two.

 Holly Collections

from Burgess Seed & Plant Company
Holly are delightful evergreen plants with lush, glossy deep green leaves, and brilliant red berries. Untrimmed, grows 6-10 feet at maturity. Looks best if trimmed to a compact 4-6 feet. Plant in sun or partial shade. Planting instructions with order. As an evergreen hedge, plant 2-4 feet apart.


 Bluebery Collection
12-18"
from Burgess Seed & Plant Company
The cultivated forms of blueberries are easy to grow in acid soil and are practically free from disease and insect pests. (Neutral soils can be made acid by application of acid peat or sulphur.) For better pollination we suggest you plant at least two varieties. With each order we furnish complete cultural directions. The three varieties we offer are all of large size, excellent quality and heavy bearers. They grow 4-5' high and differ primarily in their ripening season. Collection includes: 2 plants each of Blue Ray, Jersey and Coville.
