BLUEBERRIES 
Blueberries have special soil requirements and are not adapted to so wide a range of 
soils as are the other fruits. Soils for blueberries should be loose in texture, well sup- 
plied with organic matter, and acid. If your soil does not meet these requirements this 
condition may be created by mixing with the surface soil a liberal quantity of peat 
moss, partially rotted leaves, pine needles, or sawdust. 
Our Bearing-Age Blueberry Plants can be expected to bear some berries the first year 
planted. Plant different varieties for proper pollination.
