Remarks on Planting 
Plant in any sunny spot. Plant in rows or 
in clumps on the lawn. A hedge of blueberries 
would be an engaging sight. 
In the border they would be very fine, or as 
shrubs about the house. 
Caution: While it is true that hardy plants 
may be planted in any part of the country and 
thrive, the same cannot be said of plants that 
are transplanted from the more southerly states 
into our colder climate. We recommend our 
hardy New England grown plants for our own 
section of the country to avoid disappointment 
and loss. 
Cultivation: Blueberry roots are distributed 
just under the surface of the soil. For this rea¬ 
son cultivation should be very shallow, not over 
two inches deep, so as to leave roots undis¬ 
turbed. 
Keep witch grass and other weeds away from 
your plants. Witch grass harbors white grubs 
that feed on berry roots, and weeds will absorb 
the moisture needed by your plants. 
Do not use lime on soil intended for blue¬ 
berries, lime will sweeten the soil and make it 
unfit for this purpose. Do not use barnyard 
manure on your plants, any litter of this nature 
causes fungus disease, and is best avoided.
