Blueberry

Blueberries are a group of shrubs in the genus Vaccinium that bear edible blue, black or purple berries. The berries can be consumed fresh, frozen or dried. Their taste and health benefits contribute to their importance as an agricultural crop. Different blueberry species and cultivars are grown across Canada. Vaccinium is a cosmopolitan genus (i.e., with species found across the world) and is only absent from Australia and Antarctica. There are approximately 480 species, but only a limited number are thought of as blueberries. They are closely related to a few other edible Vaccinium species, including cranberries, lingonberries, huckleberries and grouseberries. Black- and blue-fruited huckleberries and bilberries are also often considered blueberries and are included here. Like other plants in the heath family (Ericaceae), blueberries naturally grow in acidic, often boggy soils, where other kinds of plants often struggle to extract sufficient nutrition. Across North America, Europe and Asia, there are at least 30 Vaccinium species that could be classified as blueberries. In Canada, that number is around a dozen. Most North American blueberries are deciduous shrubs, though there are a few evergreens. The deciduous leaves of blueberries are renowned for their brilliant orange to scarlet autumn colour.

Editorial: The Indomitable Bluenose

As a symbol of Atlantic Canada and the golden age of sail, the Bluenose has no peer. She was launched in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, 26 March 1921. Built entirely of Nova Scotia wood (except for the Oregon pine needed for the masts), Bluenose bobbed high in the water but settled down to her beautiful line as the ballast was poured in. When the finishing touches were being applied, the shipwright was asked, "What is this one going to be like?" "She will be all right, but she is a bit different to most vessels," was the understated reply.

Bobcat

The bobcat (Felis rufus, family Felidae) is a medium-sized, carnivorous mammal, also known as wildcat, bay lynx or red lynx. It is distinguished from the similar Canada lynx by its relatively small feet, ears tuftless or with very short tufts, and bobbed tail, with a white-tipped underside. The coat is of one colour or spotted; fur behind the jaws and elsewhere is shorter than in lynx. Colours, more varied than in lynx, range from light grey to reddish brown. Bobcats vary greatly in size (5–18 kg), males being larger than females.
