Unusual Fruit Plants for Discriminating Gardeners 
tant Blueberries 
Cultivated Large-Fruited Hybrids 
The supreme achievement of skilled horticulturists who have 
worked for years to improve our most luscious native fruit. The 
question invariably asked by those whose interest has been aroused 
is: “‘Are these new Blueberries hard to grow?’’ The answer in- 
stantly and truthfully given is “No, they are not in the least hard 
to grow.’” In bloom they are attractive, and in fall the green foli- 
age turns into beautiful shades of red and crimson. 
Blueberries are acid-soil plants. This acid condition is easily 
brought about by simple preparation of the soil—with woods soil, 
oak leaves, peat or aluminum sulphate. 
The new, named varieties of cultivated Blueberries are not self- 
fertile. A bush grown by itself will not bear fruit, but where six 
or more plants are grown in close proximity, perfect fertilization 
of the blossoms takes place, and abundant crops of huge, luscious 
berries result. Consequently our Blueberries are sold in units of six 
plants (mixed varieties) or in blocks of 24 plants or more (mixed 
varieties). Orders for single plants will positively not be accepted 
for reasons noted above. 
ie size, $7.50 per unit of 6 plants, 24 plants or over, $1.10 per 
plant. : 

New Large-F ruited H: ybrid Blueberries — 
Scedless Gr apes 
New Hardy Seedless Concord Grape 
After years of experimentation and cross-breeding, a perfectly 
hardy, seedless Grape has been developed. The first of a new race 
of Grapes that should eventually replace the common large-seeded 
varieties for table use. It is of the Concord type, but slightly 
smaller, blue-black in color, and possesses the same fine flavor 
found in the Concord Grape.

Cropical Figs 
Grow Them in Tubs for Terrace Decoration 
The Fig is particularly adapted to pot culture. As a pot or tub 
plant, it is very ornamental either indoors or outdoors, and is an 
abundant bearer of fruit. It will winter safely in a cool cellar, or 
it can be allowed to harden off with a few fall frosts and then be 
brought indoors for growing during the winter. If the top is frozen’ 
it can be cut to the ground, and when it begins growing, it will 
produce fruit on the new wood. It is for pot or tub culture that we 
particularly recommend Figs. When grown in the open ground, it — 
will develop a crop of fruit as far north as Maryland. Plants bear — 
the first year. The fruit is very sweet and delicious; of good size; — 
with flesh that is firm and meaty, and of very fine quality.
