Once Planted Lasts a Lifetime 



Blueberries are not only the largest money makers of 

 all time commercially, but are also one of the easiest 

 fruits to grow. The berries bring up to 75c per quart — ■ 

 $400.00 per acre the third year. They are exquisitely 

 mild, sweet and delicious, and bring highest prices on the 

 market. The demand for Blueber- 

 ries is practically unlimited. A 

 planting lasts a lifetime with prop- 

 er care and the plants will pay for 

 themselves their first crop. A few 

 bushes planted in the shrub border 

 and in the garden will be sufficient 

 to supply you with berries for years. 



Blueberries — Easy to Grow 



Set the bushes 5 by 7 feet apart in moist, acid 

 soil. If your soil is sweet, it may be made acid by 

 mixing with it a little quantity of acid peat, rotted 

 leaves and pine needles, or similar material. Fruit 

 ripens over a period of several weeks. Plant two 

 or more varieties so as to insure proper polleniza- 

 tion. 



Very Ornamental 



As an ornamental shrub the Blueberry cannot be 



surpassed. Full of lovely pink blooms, which open 



to bell-shaped, white flowers in June. Plants are 



compact, low growing, having waxy green leaves 



which turn red during the fall. Twigs are reddish 



brown and very showy during the winter.
