Our Blueberries are far superior to the wild 
Blueberry or Huckleberry. These Blueberries 
grow in large clusters of the most beautiful 
blue color, plump, tender and practically seed¬ 
less. The flavor of these cultivated Blueberries 
is simply delicious. Bushes will grow to the 
height of 8 feet. The plant itself is very orna¬ 
mental. During the summer the foliage is deep 
satiny green, and against this background hang 
clusters of berries royal in their magnificence. 
During autumn the leaves turn bronze, and 
during the winter months the twigs are red. 
Buds are pink and open to white, bell-shaped 
flowers. Two plants should be set out to insure 
cross pollenation, so we would not advise to set 
just one plant. We are offering 2-year plants 
that will start to bear the second year. Blueberries like 
these sell for 55c and 70c per quart on retail markets. 
Blueberries prefer an acid soil containing an abund¬ 
ance of peat or other partially rotted vegetable matter. 
They also need a moderate supply of moisture and good 
drainage. If your soil is not already acid this condition 
may be created easily by mixing with the surface soil 
a liberal quantity of peaty material such as acid peat, 
partially rotted leaves, pine needles, sawdust or chip 
dirt from an old wood pile. A surface mulch of leaves 
or straw each year is also beneficial to hold an even 
soil moisture. Acid phosphate at the rate of 300 lbs. 
per acre will help make soil acid. Write United States 
Department of Agriculture at Washington D. C., for 
bulletin on growing Cultivated Blueberries. 
We can supply Blueberries this year in the following 
varieties: Rubel, Harding, Rancocas, Jersey, Pioneer and 
Concord. We reserve the right to substitute if we happen to 
be out of one or the other, unless you specify NO SUBSTI¬ 
TUTION.
