Vaccinium canadense, Kalm. Canada Blueberry. Low erect shrubs, 1-2 ft. high, much branched: the branchlets very downy: lvs. entire, dark green, 3/4 – 1 1/2 in. long oblong-lanceolate or elliptical, acute, downy on both sides: corolla short-cylindraceous, greenish white, often tinged with red: berries medium or small, late, blue with much bloom.

The fr. is more acid than the other low forms and matures from 1-3 weeks later. It is not so popular in the market as the sweeter kinds, but it is very prolific and its lateness in ripening is in its favor."
