I'll second the recommendation for DeGrandChamps.  I bought a Patriot
blueberry from them, and it put on 5 inches in my short Wisconsin summer.  I
first found them at the Mid-Am Trade Show at Navy Pier in Chicago a couple
of years ago.  I looked over their plants at the booth and took the catalog.
All their stuff looks very healthy.
