Huge Hybrid Blueberries 
{Vaccineum corymbosum named varieties] 
Here’s Beauty that Pays a Profit 
Really beautiful as specimens or in hedges. Suited for 
use in small quantities in the small garden. A 100-foot 
hedge will pay about $25 worth of berries a year! (Spaced 
18 inches.) These were developed by the late Dr. Fred- 
erick Coville of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 
Why Wait? Plant Some NOW! 
And enjoy the berries sooner. Not only will they add 
beauty to your garden but each bush will pay for itself 
many times over! Hardy throughout U.S.A.

LOOK AT THESE BERRIES!

Set the plants in beds 4 feet 
apart each way. Several varieties 
should be included in every 
planting, as an exchange of pol- 
len is necessary to produce good 
crops of berries. Or order “mixed” 
if you wish—we will assort for 
good pollenization. All varieties 
are almost equally fine. 
Eat Blueberries All Year 
The berries can be canned as 
readily as tomatoes and by al- 
most any standard canning meth- 
od. Excellent pies, but usable 
served cold from jars, too; like 
canned peaches.

Some Idea of Crops 
eee te TERE 
A bush should produce 2 quarts 
(@ 25c wholesale) its 6th year 
and by the 8th or 9th about $1.00 
a year in blueberries. Planted 6 
ft. apart (1200 to the acre) you 
could safely expect on good land 
a gross income of $1200 a year, 
selling wholesale. Picking costs 
are high, but hiring all work 
done, a net profit of $600 an acre 
is actually being made on these. 
The bushes produce for several 
generations, without care or 
trouble.

Needs only an acid soil 
Blueberries require an acid soil containing 
peat or other rotted vegetable matter. They 
need a moderate supply of soil-moisture, and 
good drainage so that the roots can get air 
during the growing season. 
Prune for Heavy Yield 
You will get fruit if you just leave ‘em alone. 
But more and larger if you cut out all old 
canes, and keep new shoots coming. Also
