our own fields. Our plants are propagated 
from our bearing plants by cuttings, are grown 
here in northern Massachusetts and are ac- 
climated. Satisfactory plants cannot be grown 
from seed as most of them will be worthless 
varieties. 
The blueberry plants require an acid soil, 
retentive of moisture, with the water table close
