TOWNSEND’S GIANT BLUEBERRIES, ARE PROFITABLE TO 
GROW, DELICIOUS TO EAT. Plants start to yield large delicious, 
berries, when three years old. Thus If you plant this season, our 
selected plants in either the 7- to 12 inch and 12-18 Inch grade, 
you can be assured of berries next Spring. 
Fruit is Ideal to eat right off the bushes, excellent for canning, 
quick freezing and the well known and popular Blueberry Pie. 
The period of ripening, covers several weeks, plants bear more 
and more fruit each and every time—therefore your first cost for 
the plants is all. Every garden should have a few plants, and be 
sure to plant two or more varieties for cross pollenization, also which 
will help to give you that many more berries when plants are young. 
The berries bring up to (and late years even more) than 75c per 
quart of commercially speaking $800.00 per acre the third year 
after planted. Blueberries demand the highest prices on the fruit 
market. If you are a market gardener and fruit grower, it will 
pay you big profits, to get started now growing blueberries. See page 
22 for further information. 
VERY ORNAMENTAL 
As an ornamental, the blueberry bush cannot be surpassed. Picture 
if you can in your mind, a cluster of these bushes in your own 
garden, or along the border of your lawn, full of lovely pink blooms, 
which open to a bell-shaped white flower, In June. 
The plants are compact, low growing, having waxy green leaves 
which turn to red, during the fall. Twigs are reddish, and very showy 
during the winter. - 
BLUEBERRIES EASY TO GROW 
They can be classed as one of the easiest 
plants to transplant. For the Home Piant- 
Ing set the plants about 5 ft. apart (com- 
mercial plantings, set in rows 8 to 10 ft. 
apart and space plants 4 ft. apart down the 
row ) Blueberries require a somewhat ACID 
SOIL, (ranging In test P.H.3.8 to 5.5). If 
your soil is not acid, it may be made so 
very easy by mixing, with some pulverized 
PEAT and Sand, half and half, mix thor- 
oughly with water, and place In hole where 
the plant is to be set, below the root and 
above the roots. Fruit ripens over a period 
of several weeks.
