GARDEN 
BLUEBERRIES 
Low-bush Blueberries. (Vaccinium corymbosum) 
These are the famous cultivated varieties developed by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture at Whitesbog, N. J. 
The fruit is many times larger than the common wild Blue¬ 
berry and of the finest flavor and texture. 
Plants are hardy, vigorous, and ornamental. Ideal as a 
specimen shrub or in groups for background. The smooth, 
leathery, dark green leaves turn to the most gorgeous shades 
of crimson after the first hard frost. 
They are very fruitful—several plants will supply all the 
fruit for family needs when they are once established. 
RUBEL. Bush upright, very vigorous, hardy and extremely 
productive. Fruit is medium large, light blue, firm, and 
ships well. Late; long picking season. 
PIONEER. Spreading, fairly vigorous bush, hardy and 
productive. Fruit large, light blue, firm, and of very good 
quality. Midseason. 
ADAMS. Vigorous, upright grower and very productive. 
Fruit medium size, dark blue, of good quality. Season 
early. 
Blueberries require an acid soil containing an abundance 
of peat or other rotted vegetable matter. They also need a 
moderate amount of soil-moisture and good drainage. 
Any of above, 10- to 12-in. plants, $1.45 each, 3 for 
$3.75; 15- to 18-in., $1.90 each, 3 for $5.00. Best shipped 
by Express.

2 bags $2.00 
Tester to determine soil-acidity, 25 cts. 
VERBENA VENOSA 
Verbena rigida 
An unusually hardy form of Verbena. The vigorous, 
sprawling stems make a mat of dark green foliage, and the 
large, showy lavender flower-heads are freely produced Irom 
early spring until late fall. Flowers have a fine fragrance, 
closely resembling that of Daphne cneorum. Worth while for 
the fragrance alone. Needs a light soil, hot and dry, with 
plenty of room. Here is a plant that has a place in every 
garden. 
50 cts. each, 3 for $1.00, 7 for $2.00, 12 for $3.00

TRULY A SENSATION 
AN ARMFUL OF FLOWERS ON ONE PLANT

tection.

for edging flower-beds. Gorgeous for masses of color in 
perennial border. Plant in pots to put in your porch-boxes

around the porch.
