Giant Cultivated Blueberries 
Delicious—Ornamental—Profitable 
Blueberries are easily (rrown, ornamentai in the 
lawn or shrubbery border, and extremely useful 
from the standpoint of the fruit produced. They 
come into bearing the third year and reach full 
production in about the sixtli. Ten pint boxes 
of fruit from each plant or ti.OOO pints per acre, 
retailing at 2.jc to 40c per box. The fruit is sev¬ 
eral times as large as the wild type, frequently 
14 inch in diameter. 
The cultivated forms of Blueberries are easy to 
grow and practically free from disease and insect 
pests. To insure proper growth the soil should 
be acid. This soil condition can easily be pro¬ 
duced by the application of peat or the use of 
Sodus Acid Humus. We ship with all plants a 
.sufflcient quantity of peat to take care of their 
growtli for two years. As growth develops addi¬ 
tional peat or Sodus Acid Humus can be worked 
into the soil. See pages 55 and 69 for prices of 
Peat and Sodus Acid Humus. 
As two plants are required for pollination we 
recommend tliat you buy at lea.st 2 plants, each 
a different variety. With each order we furnish 
comi)lete cultural directions.

Thornless Youngberry 
25 Will Fill a Pint Berry Basket 
Outyields All Other Cane Fruits 
The Thornless Youngberry is a cross between the Dewberry and Logan¬ 
berry, and is a welcbme addition to the berry family. Owing to the ab¬ 
sence of thorns, the fruit can be harvested conveniently and economically. 
They are of very ea.sy culture. Anyone who has successfully grown either 
Blackberries or Dewberries can grow Youngberries. The fruiting habits 
are identical wltli the Dewberry. The dark, wine-red berries are very 
much like Dewberries, but considerably larger—25 of them will fill a pint 
berry basket. Tne sweet, delicious flavor and fine texture of the Young- 
berry is unexcelled. ' It not only makes a fine table berry in its fresh 
state, but has proven very popular for pies and for canning. The Young¬ 
berry outyields any other cane fruit we have found, and has proven 
perfectly hardy in Michigan. Youngberries are good shippers and show 
great possibilities as a commercial crop.

MQTj^C There are two distinct varieties of Youngberry, one with 
I iWK thorns and one without. The one with thorns is not 
hardy. Our plants are the genuine Thornless. 
Thornless 
Youngberry 
Mastodon is a great money maker, as it will produce an enormous crop of 
big berries during the summer and fall months witli just ordinary care. It 
succeeds under practically all climatic and soil conditions, even protiiicing 
paying crops in dry climates. Our thrifty plants set in the spring will pro¬ 
duce a crop of berries in 90 days and continue through summer and fall 
until stopped by freezing weather. 
Eighteen or twenty berries wili often fill a quart box. They are rich glossy 
red, of firm and solid texture, and delicious in flavor. A small planting will 
keep the home table supplied with berries throughout the summer and fall. 
A large planting will reap hundreds of dollars for the farmer.

markable berry introduced in many 
years. It is just as easily grown as p 
Dewberries or Blackberries, and more 
productive because the fruit is so 5 
much larger. Many of tlie berries 
reach 2 to 2% inches in length. The 
flavor is une.xcelled for a table berry

no other berry can compare with it.

damage.
