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 plant- 

 ing lasts a 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 garden 

 will be sufficient to supply you with 

 berries for years. 



Blueberries — Easy to Grow 



Set th 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 severol weeks. Plant two 

 or more varieties so as to insure proper polleniza- 



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 ore 

 compact, low growing, having waxy green leaves 

 which turn red during the fall. Twigs are reddish 

 brown ond very showy during the winter.
