YOU CAN GROW YOUR 
Gt — OWN BLUEBERRIES 
WILL GROW ANYWHERE—Garden, Lawn, Fields. Nowadays you don't have to go into !tow, wet, 
swampy marshes to have all the blueberries (often erroneously called huckleberry) you want tor 
home uses. You can grow them right in your garden, or along your drive, next to your garage as 
you would shrubs, or out on the lawn as you would a rose bush. All you have to have is (1) an acid 
soil, (2) plenty of water, (3) and a liberal amount of humus (organic matter) in the soil. 
SOIL. The kind of soil does not make so much difference, for they will grow successtully in a sandy 
loam, clay, light or heavy soils, providing the above three conditions are present. Should your soil 
not be acid enough, and most garden or lawn soils are not, it can be made so by mixing with it at 
least two parts of Keith's Acid Peat Humus (see bottom of this page). 
can be increased by working into it old decayed leaves, lawn clippings, leaf mold, etc. 
And the 
moisture content can be kept up by watering the soil when needed. Rain water is best as it contains 
no lime to sweeten the soil. 
GARDEN CULTURE. Set the bushes at least 
A feet apart (better 5 ft.) in a hole made and 
prepared as follows: Dig a hole 18 to 24 
inches (24 better) square, 12 inches deep and 
fill with a mixture of one part of the soil you 
dig out and two paris Keith's Acid Peat 
Humus. Leaf-mold from the woods, or marsh 
soil may be used instead of Keith's Acid Peat 
Humus, but the latter is better for most soils. 
Firmly pack 5 inches of the soil mixture in 
the bottom of the hole and set the bush on 
the soil and fill in around the roots with 
more soil mixture until hole is full. Soak the 
soil and the job is done. Keep thoroughly 
paieted. not soaked, however. Rain water 
is best. 
We suggest using a half-barrel, tub or some 
container of equal size, and submerge in the 
soil and us it instead of the 24x18 inch hole. 
COMMERCIAL CULTURE: Select a fertile acid 
soil, such as you'd find in a@ drained blue- 
berry (huckleberry) marsh. It must have 
ample water. Wild blueberries (huckleber- 
Ties), white cedar, leatherleaf, red maple all 
indicate a suitable soil. Low meadow lands 
are often suitable, Set plants 5x8 ft. (about 
1000 per acre). Write us for further informa- 
tion. We will be glad to help you. 
NOTICE: More intensive and complete plant- 
ing and cultural directions are sent with each 
shipment of blueberry plants. 
TWO-YEAR BLUEBERRY PLANTS have been 
grown in the nursery row only one year, and 
will not fruit for another year at least. 
THREE-YEAR BLUEBERRY PLANTS have been 
transplanted and grown in the open for 
three years and in most cases will produce 
berries the year planted. Their root system 
is well developed and will stand trans- 
planting without checking their bush growth. 
FIVE-YEAR, READY-TO-BEAR BLUEBERRY 
PLANTS have been transplanted and grown 
under field culture for five summers. They 
are of fruiting size, having already fruited 
for two years and are ready to fruit their 
third crop this coming summer. They will 
come to you wrapped in burlap with Keith's 
Acid Peat Humus packed around their roots 
which is to be used in setting them out. They 
should be sent by express. Parcel post 
would be quite expensive except in the lst 
and 2nd zones. 
PARCEL POST AND EXPRESS. Keith’s 2-year 
blueberry plants may be sent by parcel post 
or express. (In weight, 5 plants will equal 
100 strawberry plants. See page 22). The 
3-year plants and the 5-year plants pack out 
quite heavy, and we suggest express ship- 
ments for these plants.
