Houston Hardy Grown Blueberry Plants ■ Strong, Heavily Rooted 
How to Grow Blue¬ 
berries Successfully 
Plant them in rows, in clumps on the 
lawn or in the shrubbery border. A hedge 
of Blueberries is both profitable and orna¬ 
mental, a delight to look upon and to care 
for. Choose a moist piece of ground easily 
supplied with water during the dry summer 
months. Plant in full sun if possible; they 
will also do well in partial shade. 
As the Blueberry roots are distributed 
under the surface of the soil, cultivotion 
should be very shallow, not over 2 inches 
deep, so as to leave the roots undisturbed. 
KEEPING SOIL ACID 
To have Blueberries at their best, the 
acidity of the soil should be maintained by 
mulching liberally with partly decayed 
leaves or with ordinary commercial peat 
moss, or a mixture of both is excellent to 
condition the soil, keep down weeds and 
prevent evaporation of the moisture so 
necessary for proper growth of these new 
Blueberries. Do not remove this mulch, let 
it remain around the plant throughout the 
year. 
ALL PLANTS BALLED AND BURLAPPED 
All plants come to you Balled and Burlapped for 
sofety. This is most important, as Blueberry roots 
are tender, and must not be broken or exposed to the 
oir. "Sure to grow" plants are always Balled and 
Burlapped.
