  BLUEBERRIES 
  

  

  A 
  new 
  and 
  delightful 
  fruit 
  becoming: 
  more 
  popular 
  and 
  more 
  profit- 
  

   able. 
  Possibly 
  no 
  small 
  fruit 
  of 
  dessert 
  quality 
  will 
  give 
  as 
  much 
  return 
  

   in 
  satisfaction 
  and 
  money 
  as 
  the 
  Blueberry 
  when 
  properly 
  grown. 
  We 
  

   list 
  below 
  what 
  we 
  consider 
  the 
  finest 
  of 
  all 
  varieties 
  being 
  offered 
  to- 
  

   day. 
  

  

  Blueberries 
  require 
  an 
  acid 
  soil 
  containing 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  peat 
  or 
  

   other 
  partially 
  rotted 
  vegetable 
  matter. 
  They 
  need 
  a 
  moderate 
  supply 
  of 
  

   soil-moisture, 
  and 
  good 
  drainage 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  roots 
  can 
  get 
  air 
  during 
  the 
  

   growing 
  season. 
  

  

  Where 
  natural 
  Blueberry 
  soil 
  is 
  not 
  available 
  ideal 
  conditions 
  can 
  be 
  Ip* 
  

   created 
  by 
  mixing 
  with 
  the 
  surface 
  soil 
  a 
  liberal 
  quantity 
  of 
  peat 
  moss 
  

   or 
  partially 
  rotted 
  leaves 
  or 
  sawdust 
  or 
  chip 
  dirt 
  from 
  an 
  old 
  woodpile. 
  

   If 
  your 
  soil 
  is 
  clay 
  the 
  addition 
  of 
  sand 
  will 
  benefit 
  it. 
  Plants 
  should 
  

   be 
  mulched 
  with 
  leaves, 
  straw, 
  lawn 
  clippings 
  or 
  peat 
  moss 
  to 
  conserve 
  

   moisture. 
  This 
  mulch 
  should 
  not 
  be 
  removed 
  or 
  dug 
  into 
  the 
  soil. 
  Plants 
  

   should 
  be 
  planted 
  from 
  three 
  to 
  four 
  feet 
  apart. 
  Two 
  varieties 
  should 
  be 
  

   ordered 
  to 
  give 
  proper 
  polienization.

  you

  adapted 
  to

  be 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  profitable 
  of 
  the

   It
