PROFITABLE — BEAUTIFUL 
Not only does the cultivated blueberry produce juicy and 
delicious berries 2 to 3 times as large as common blueberries, 
resembling in size a bunch of Delaware grapes and selling for 
40c to 60c a quart, and they are beautiful ornamental bushes 
reaching 6 to 8 feet in height. The foliage is dark green, long 
and narrow, blossoms belbshaped and pinkish white. 
CULTURE OF BLUEBERRIES. Blueberries prefer a loose 
acid soil, with fair drainage. However, where these conditions 
do not exist, this can easily be created by a little extra effort. 
For two'year plants we recommend making an opening 15x15 
inches by 12 deep, mixing about 30 per cent of the soil taken 
out of the opening with even quantities of the following (either 
all of one of some of each): decayed wood, half'decayed leaves, 
rotted straw, or vegetable refuse—mix with 2 to 3 quarts of 
peat moss. Fill the opening partly with this mixture and set 
the plant in the center of opening. 
For 3' and 4'year plants make the opening larger accordingly, 
although the 3' and 4'year plants are burlapped and balled with 
some of the soil they are grown in. Unless your soil is acid, 
we recommend 5 to 10 quarts of peat moss for each plant for 
best results. Peat moss is light and spongy in texture—contains 
acid, humus and minerals—and will absorb 15 to 20 times its 
own weight in water. The mixture will hold moisture well. 
From year to year, midch with straw and leaves 3 to 4 inches 
deep, water in dry weather as any other shrub. You will be 
well repaid for your efforts, for a bearing blueberry bush is a 
source of beauty and profit.
