NOTE: Be sure to buy your blueberry plants by graded height 

 and age rather than by age alone. The plants we offer are of 

 bearing age. 



We suggest from eight to twelve plants for a family 

 of five people. Ask for and follow our free cultural 

 directions. Plant our blueberries this year for pleasure 

 and profit.

 good. Earliblue ripens early, with Weymouth. Bushes are 

 upright, very vigorous, well shaped and good producers.

 New Jersey blueberry sections as one of the outstanding 

 blueberries. Vigorous plants, large berries, very productive. 



BLUERAY (6504) The fruit is large, with a medium 

 light blue color, medium scar, fine flavor, and resists crack- 

 ing. It matures with Ivanhoe and Rancocas. The bush is 

 hardy and very productive.

 right habit rarely surpasses 6 feet in height. Winter twigs 

 are a dark red. The berries are somewhat larger than those 

 of Rubel and begin to ripen several daj-s earlier.

 rity exceeds 6 feet in height. Young growth is bright red in 

 winter. The berries are large, frequently reaching ?4 

 inch in diameter. They usually ripen a few days earlier

The large cvllivated blueberry has unlimited possi- 

 bililies as afresh fruit, a canned or frozen product , or 

 for pure ornamentation. The plants should hare a 

 place in every farm or home garden lot. 



Blueberries require an acid soil containing an 

 abundance of organic tnaterial. They need a good 

 supply of soil moisture, with good drainage, ^fost 

 good gardeners will midch their plants rather than 

 cultivate them, since the plants are shallow rooted and 

 do not tolerate close working. 



Good blueberry soil can be created by use of quan- 

 tities of compost or other organic tnaterial, worked 

 into the surface of the soil. Use aluminum sulphate 

 to bring the pH level down to an optimum .5 to 6 range. 



Blueberries need pollination, and at least two va- 

 rieties should be planted. Free and complete cultural 

 directions sent upon request.
