' ‘ THE IMPROVED WILD BLUEBERRY 
The wild Blueberry is the object of perhaps more extensive 
search in localities where it may be found, than any of our wild fruits. 
The reason being that it’s pretty blueberries make the. pie par excell¬ 
ence. Blueberry Pie when once tasted, leaves a memory,, not soon for¬ 
gotten. The improved varieties of this fruit are often as large as 
Concord Grapes, and some times larger. The delicious flavor of the 
wild Blueberry has been transmitted unimpaired to the improved varie¬ 
ties; as well as their hardiness and abundance of yield. 
SOIL 
The Improved Blueberry will probably grow on many types of soil, 
but they seem to do best on a rather light acid or sour soil.. It may 
be wise before setting commercially, to either try a fev7 plants on 
the particular soil, or have it tested for it*s acid reaction, 
CULTURE 
The culture for Blueberries is the sa.me as that for Raspberries, 
Of course they will grov/ and bear without cultivation, but like the 
other sniavll fruits, greater yields v/ill be obtained if the soil is 
stirred so that competing vegetation is kept subdued. Hand hoeing is 
of course necessary, where the weeds and grass are not kept down by 
cultivation, 3000 to 4000 quarts per acre have been harvested. They 
are as long lived as an apple tree. When once established you will 
have annual crops of these large and deliciously sweet Blueberries.
