BLUEBERRIES 



Once Planted Lasts a Lifetime 



PROFITABLE 



Blueberries are not only the largest money mak- 

 ers of all times 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 Blueberries is practically unlimited. A planting 

 lasts the lifetime with proper care and the plants 

 will pay for themselves their first crop. A few 

 bushes planted in the shrub border and in the gar- 

 den will be sufficient to supply you with berries 

 for years.
