The cachet features a photograph of blueberries on their branches, with green leaves and unripe berries visible. The stamp pane includes seven denominations (1¢ to 25¢) depicting various Canadian berries: Blueberry, Wild Strawberry, Black Crowberry, Rose Hip, Black Raspberry, Kinnikinnick, and Saskatoon Berry. Each stamp is multicolored and labeled with its berry name in English and French. The postmark is a hand-stamped circular cancellation with wavy lines, dated August 5, 1992, from Mistassini, Quebec.
