Have you ever thought of purchasing the Doyle thornless blackberry? www.fruitsandberries.com
Not sure how they got such a good variety but supposedly a plant at full maturity will give you 100 gallons verses 10 gallons that a regular plant will give you. May not be what you are looking for.

Also try

http://www.watersblueberryfarm.com/

You can get decent size bushes there and even pick the first year. They also explain to you about the importance of peat in growing blueberries in Missouri.

We bought three of their plants and are tickled to death with them.

FYI, Waters Blueberry Farm is sold out of all of their blueberry plants until the Fall 2006. You can place an order now to reserve them, but they recommend doing so before their prices increase June 1st. If you want to purchase from them, it is best not to wait: their plants originally went on sale March 16th, and they were sold out in less than a week!

Burnt Ridge Nursery has a good selection of blueberries at reasonable prices as well as raspberries and many other well known and lesser known fruits, nuts, and berries.
www.burntridgenursery.com
Also, again a wide selection: http://www.raintreenursery.com/

Under the post "Looking for currant cuttings", Antiquegardenfairy recommends looking into Bramble Berry Farm. http://www.brambleberryfarm.com/ I looked them up - they are in Arkansas, wow, great prices, and nice selection. Their stuff should be well suited for MO. Apparently, they have an even greater variety to offer earlier in season than are now listed on website.
