Crow Your Own BLUEBERRIES 
The most promising bush fruit of today. Good for 
home garden or commercial production as the mar¬ 
ket is almost unlimited and prices will be good for 
many years. 
Blueberries prefer acid soil and plenty of mois¬ 
ture during fruiting season. Peat bogs, alder bot¬ 
toms, willow or cedar swamp when cleared and 
drained of surface water make ideal locations for 
commercial growings. Even the average upland 
home garden land will do if peat moss, leaf mold, or 
other acid producing aids are added. Sawdust spread 
around the bushes several inches thick to hold mois¬ 
ture and produce an acid soil condition. Acid soil 
and plenty of moisture are essential to best yields. 
Plant about 4 feet apart, keep free of weeds from 
April till harvest, fertilize moderately. Prune 3 to 4 
year wood. 
If interested in commercial growing write for fur¬ 
ther information. Best results are had when planting 
is done between October and April. Early plantings 
are better than late. 
We recommend either of these varieties for home 
or commercial use. 
Rancocas. Midseason, large berries, strong grower. 
Rubel. Midseason, berries medium sized, flavor 
good, heavy yields.

BLUEBERRIES AS ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS 
Blueberries are very showy shrubs and they should be used in every home 
garden. In spring the bush is covered with waxy white bell-like flowers, sum¬ 
mer brings large clusters of beautiful blue berries, and in the fall the foliage 
turns to rich crimson and scarlet. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTS, ROSES, TREES, ETC. 
1. PREPARATION OF SOIL. See that the soil is well pul¬ 
verized at least as deep as the roots of the plant need to 
be placed. Enrich with well-rotted manure or compost 
thoroughly mixed in the soil. Avoid fresh manure of any 
sort or commercial fertilizer arouqd the roots of any plant, 
rose bush, shrub, fruit or ornamental tree or vine. 
2. PLANTING. Carefully spread the roots and see that 
there is no air hole or pocket left to dry out. Put in enough 
water in the hole to settle dirt around the roots. Finish 
filling hole with moist or semi-dry soil. Perennials should 
have their crowns barely below surface of ground. Deep 
planting causes rot and sometimes prevent flowering. 
Plant roses, trees, shrubs, and vines near graft level or 
about the level of the former planting. 
Do not plant in the heat of the day during warm 
weather. 
Water frequently during first year if needed. 
3. FERTILIZING. Do not put any fertilizer in the hole or 
near the roots or on the leaves. Your plants will grow 
quicker and stonger, and bloom much better, if you use any 
good advertised brand of commercial Fertilizer, but use it 
according to directions. 
We recommend the use of Vigoro, or Magnolia 3-10-7, 
or 3-10-10. However, avoid too heavy applications. 
4. WINTER PROTECTION. Even Hardy Plants need a 
mulch of straw — leaves may he used if mixed with rough- 
age to prevent matting and smothering plants. Do not 
mulch until AFTER the first hard frost in Fall. 
WARNING—Any soil must be well drained. Plants can not 
thrive with “wet feet”.
