DELICIOUS 
NEW BLUEBERRIES 
Imagine the old-fashioned Blueberry or 
“Huckleberry” grown to three-quarters of an 
inch in diameter. That’s what these new 
varieties will do, and the amount of fruit has 
also been increased. 
Blueberries require an acid soil containing 
an abundance of peat or other partially 
rotted vegetable matter. They need a mod- 
erate supply of soil-moisture, and good drain- 
age so that the roots can get air during the 
growing season. Space the plants about 3 
feet apart if planted in a row. Setting the 
plants in beds 3 feet apart one way and 4 to 
5 feet the other way has also been found 
satisfactory. 
Blueberries make attractive hedges or they 
can be grown as specimens or used in founda- 
tion plantings. In addition to their delicious 
fruits, the plants contribute greatly to the 
color pageant in autumn when their foliage 
takes on hues of yellow, orange and red. 
Strong plants, 12 to 15 inches high 
3 for $3; $11 per doz. 
Cabot. The earliest variety to fruit. Plants 
seldom exceed 3 feet in height, making a 
broad, low bush. Berries have a delicious 
subacid flavor. 
Concord. Bush of upright habit and at 
maturity exceeds 6 feet in height. The 
berries are large, frequently reaching 34 inch 
in diameter. 
Jersey. Vigorous in habit, grows very large. 
The berries are very large, light blue in 
color. 
Rancocas. Slender, vigorous, upright habit 
rarely surpassing 5 feet in height. The 
berries are earlier and larger than Rubel. 
Rubel. Well-developed bushes stand 6 feet 
or more high. The large berries are of fine 
blue color; can be depended on for a good 
crop every year. Ripens about two weeks 
later than Cabot.
