BLUEBERRIES 



Pick Them Fresh Off The Bush 



Cultivated 

 are doubly 

 throughout 



Blueberries are hardy shrubs of rare beauty; they 

 valuable because they are fruitful and ornamental 

 the entire year. Just loads of delicious berries* 13^*" 



Every home garden, no matter how small, has room for at least a few of these Blue- 

 berry plants. It takes only a few plants to produce all the berries an ordinary size fam- 

 ily will need. As a commercial proposition it is one of the most profitable fruits to grow. 

 There is a big market for these delicious Blueberries; they make good money in a very 

 short time, you can begin picking the second or third season after planting. They grow 

 in big clusters, see actual photograph of a four-year old plant at right, producing 3000 

 to 5000 quarts per acre, are easy to harvest, thornless. Plants last a very long time. 



Blueberries are also ornamental shrubs of rare beauty. They may well be used in 

 association with their close relatives. Laurel and Rhododendron. In pleasant contrast 

 to the rich evergreen masses of the latter. Blueberries give lightness grace and color. 

 Plant them in rows, in clumps on the lawn or in the shrubbery border. A hedge of Blue- 

 berries is both profitable and ornamental, a delight to look upon and to care for. 



Choose a moist piece of ground easily supplied with moisture during dry summer months — it should not 

 at any time become water-logged. Plant in full sun if possible; they will also do well in partial shade. Be 

 sure the soil is acid. Cultivate shallow, not over 2 or 3 inches deep, so as to leave the roots undisturbed. 

 We will send full instructions for preparing the soil, taking care of the plants, mulching, etc..
