You must be planning on using it for jelly or the like.  The seeds in 
Gaylussacia are large enough to be objectionable, especially compared 
to blueberries.  I grew some once and decided they weren't worth it for 
anything that wasn't processed to remove the seeds.  Salal was more 
interesting as a wild berry and had small seeds like a blueberry.

    I want to purchase some Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) that 
are
recommended for zones 3 or 4.  Would someone please steer me toward 
someone
who sells them.  Botannical references indicate that they occur, in the
wild, as far Northwest as Wisconsin.  Thanks.
