BLUEBERRY.— The blueberry has re-

 many years in the forests. Now they are 



being handled commercially and there is 

 a ready market for these berries. Trees 

 come into bearing early. They ripen dur- 

 ing the months of June, July and August. 

 Fruit is dark bluish-black, of splendid tex- 

 ture. Blueberries thrive best on soils so 

 acid as to be considered worthless for ordi- 

 nary agricultural purposes. We feel that 

 these berries should be planted on every 

 farm and home garden. Strong plants, 50
