pTpHQP Blueberries do not succeed in rich, well-limed garden soils, but they do thrive in naturally 

 rLaLal\OLa moist, acid soils such as those in which azaleas, laurel and rhododendrons grow. Consult 



1^/^TP culture directions on page 34 for information on preparing garden soil for growing blue- 



1Nv/1J:i berries. 



YIELDS 



Blossoms should be pinched from blue- 

 berry plants that have been newly plant- 

 ed to prevent fruiting in order to con- 

 serve strength. 



Plants will begin fruiting next year 

 and will continue to increase yield until 

 6th year when yield has averaged 6 pints 

 per bush. 



Mature bushes bear 6 to 8 pints, and 

 with proper pruning this may be im- 

 proved to 12 to 20 pints. 



Blueberries were wliolesalingr at 60c per pint box when 

 these were picked the week of June 15, 194S.
