The large cultivated blueberry has unlimited possi- 

 bilities as a fresh fruit, a canned or frozen product, or 

 for pure ornament aiion. The plants should have a 

 place in every farm or home garden lot. 



Blueberries require an acid soil containing an 

 abundance of organic material. They need a good 

 supply of soil moisture, with good drainage. Most 

 good gardeners will mulch their plants rather than 

 cultivale 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 material, worked 

 into the surface of the soil. Use aluminum sidphate 

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



Blueberries need pollination, and at least two va- 

 rieties shoidd be planted. Free and complete adlural 

 directions sent upon request.
