BLUEBERRIES 



z> Cultivated 



TOWNSEND'S GIANT BLUEBERRIES, ARE PROFITABLE TO 

 GROW, DELICIOUS TO EAT. Plants start to yield large delicious, 

 berries, when three years old. Thus If you plant this season, our 

 selected plants In either the 7- to 12 Inch and 12-18 Inch grade, 

 you can be assured of berries next Spring. 



Fruit Is Ideal to eat right off the bushes, excellent for canning, 

 quick freezing and the well known and popular Blueberry Pie. 



The period of ripening, covers several weeks, plants bear more 

 and more fruit each and every time — therefore your first cost for 

 the plants is all. Every garden should have a few plants, and be 

 sure to plant two or more varieties for cross pollenizatlon, also which 

 will help to give you that many more berries when plants are young. 

 The berries bring up to (and late years even more) than 75c per 

 quart or commercially speaking $800.00 per acre the third year 

 after planted. Blueberries demand the highest prices on the fruit 

 market. If you are a market gardener and fruit grower, It will 

 pay you big profits, to get started now growing blueberries. See page 

 22 for further Information. 



VERY ORNAMENTAL 



As an ornamental, the blueberry bush cannot be surpassed. Picture 

 If you can in your mind, a cluster of these bushes In your own 

 garden, or along the border of your lawn, full of lovely pink blooms, 

 which open to a bell-shaped white flower, in June. 



The plants are compact, low growing, having waxy green leaves 

 which turn to red, during the fall. Twigs are reddish, and very showy 

 during the winter. 



BLUEBERRIES EASY TO GROW 



They can be classed as one of the easiest 

 plants to transplant. For the Home Plant- 

 ing set the plants about 5 ft. apart (com- 

 mercial plantings, set In rows 8 to 10 ft. 

 apart and space plants 4 ft. apart down the 

 row ) Bluebe. -les require a somewhat ACID 

 SOIL, (ranging In test P.H.3.8 to 5.5). If 

 your soil is not acid, It may be made so 

 very easy by mixing, with some pulverized 

 PEAT and Sand, half and half, mix thor- 

 oughly with water, and place In hole where 

 the plant Is to be set, below the root and 

 above the roots. Fruit ripens over a period 

 of several weeks.
