Plant Blueberries 
)• 
FOPv PLEASURE AND PROFIT 
The Blueberry is among the finest of fruits, in fact the very 
finest of all berries for pies, but is almost unknown in the 
average garden. This is due to the scarcity of nursery grown 
plants, the only kind to transplant easily. We have to offer this 
Spring some beautiful nursery grown plants ideal for successful 
results in the home garden, the plants being very hardy, rapid 
growers and heavy bearers. A dozen plants should be plenty 
for the average family. 
Blueberries can be planted most successfully in the Spring. 
\We feel confident that every customer of ours will wish to 
take advantage of this offer and secure at least a few of the 
plants for his or her garden. 
It is almost impossible to find a description of its flavor. It is 
safe to say that the Blueberry is in a class by itself, with its 
delicious melting flesh, full of rich creamy juice and delicate 
wild taste all its own. Next summer when you are eating 
luscious Blueberry pies made from berries picked from your 
own bushes you will appreciate the wisdom of your purchase.
