BLUEBERRIES Cultivated Varieties 
Improved Large Fruiting 
Dormant Plants Supplied up to May 1st 
These are unquestionably a garden fruit de luxe, and are the result of years 
of labor by plant hybridizers connected with the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture. Blueberries not only occupy an important place in the berry 
patch but are also, on account of their beauty, welcome additions to the 
ornamental border (they are also frequently used for Hedge purposes). 
Being somewhat related to the laurels and rhododendrons, they thrive in 
soils where these plants do well but require sunlight. The plants are attrac- 
tive at all times. In spring when the new leaves have pinkish and bronzy 
tones; later when covered with waxy white blossoms; then these are followed 
with the bluish fruit; and finally when the plants take on the rich crimson 
tones of autumn. 
Aside from the beauty of the plants, the chief value of the cultivated 
Blueberries lies in the size, texture, and flavor of their remarkable fruit. 
Blueberries grow best in a well drained, sandy, peaty soil, with a good supply 
of underground moisture. The soil should also be on the acid side, the best 
p.H. range being from 4.5 to 5. If the desired natural conditions do not 
exist in the garden, the soil can be built up by adding peat moss, sawdust or 
apple pomace, together with coarse sand. The latter is important in order 
to produce aeration in the soil. This is necessary to keep the micro-organisms 
alive, which are required by the roots during the active growing season. 
The plants are perfectly hardy and bear profusely for many years. Their 
fruiting season in the vicinity of New York usually extends throughout July.
