HYBRID BLUEBERRIES 
These shrubs, which bear quantities of delicious fruits, are a recent achieve¬ 
ment of skilled horticulturists who have worked for years to improve one of 
our best native fruits. These plants are not too hard to grow providing you 
have acid soil. If you do not have this soil condition, create it for them by the 
addition of woods soil, oak mulch, peat, or aluminum sulphate when you plant 
them. As ornamental plants for the landscape they are unequaled, their glossy 
green foliage turning a brilliant scarlet in the fall. 
These new named varieties are not self-fertile, consequently, one bush 
planted by itself will not bear fruit, but where 3 or more plants of different 
varieties are grown closely together, abundant crops of huge luscious berries 
will result. For this reason, these Hybrid Blueberries are sold in units of three 
plants, one each of the following varieties. 
Cabot. Good sized berries of excellent flavor, ripening from first to middle 
of July. Plants low and spreading. 
Pioneer. A medium high bush; a good producer of excellently flavored 
berries. 10 to 14 days after Cabot. 
Rubel. A few days later than Pioneer. Tall, vigorous bush producing fruit 
of good quality. 
2-yr. size, B&B, $3.75 per set of three plants, 1 of each variety. 
In lots of 10 or more at $1.10 each. 
GRAPES 3-yr. plants, 50c each; $4.50 per 10.
