Makes Blueberries 



Ideal for 



Lawn Plantings 



Gardeners who have delighted in rais- 

 ing Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Laurel and 

 other acid-soil plants consider the culti- 

 vated Blueberry a truly great addition to 

 their plantings. 



Beautiful foliage and blossoms give 

 lawn plantings a new and novel attrac- 

 tion. Bright red hue of wood in winter 

 blends well with other lawn plantings. 



You will find full directions for raising 

 blueberries on your lawn, in garden or 

 other locations listed under Blueberry 

 Culture in this book. 



Cultivated Blueberries are a real taste treat — large, beautiful fruit of thrilling 

 flavor that embodies all the better qualities of the wild blueberry. Blueberries are 

 so temptingly beautiful and so good to eat you will find yourself just having a 

 picnic every time you get near a bush laden with fruit. 



These Blueberry bushes 

 were heavily laden with 

 fruit when this photograph 

 was made June 20, 1947. 



Note the large clusters 

 so clearly evident on the 

 bush nearest camera at 

 the left. 



Bushes start production 

 the second year and full 

 production is usually 

 reached by the sixth year. 



Mature bushes produce 

 6 to 8 pints, end with min- 

 imum pruning production 

 may be increased to as 

 much as 12 to 20 pints 

 per bush.
