TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
GUARANTEE 
Rich & Sons guarantee their stock to please you. We guarantee 
it to arrive at the purchaser’s nearest shipping point in perfect 
growing condition, free from diseases and absolutely true to 
name. 
We never substitute on commercial varieties, but do feel at 
liberty to substitute on small orders unless requested not to, in 
each case, however, we put the true name of the plant on the 
label. Furthermore, any such substitutions may be exchanged 
if not satisfactory. All claims for shortage or any other reason 
must be reported within ten days. 
DELIVERY DATES 
While we like and aim where possible to make shipments tc 
arrive On designated days, we cannot give any assurance that 
they will. Due to the labor shortage we must fill orders as we 
can. We hope our customers are aware that shipments must be 
inspected by your horticultural inspector upon arrival which fre- 
quently causes some delay.

BLUEBERRIES 
An acid soil, rich in leaf mold and with an abundance of 
moisture throughout the growing season, is best for success 
in blueberry culture. Peat bogs, alder bottoms, willow and 
cedard swamps, when cleared, make ideal locations for blue- 
berries, as do upland soils containing a large amount of leaf 
mold and naturally or artificially well supplied with moisture. 
In a commercial planting the rows and plants should be spaced 
far enough apart to permit two way cultivation; a spacing of 
eight feet by four seems quite suitable. For home gardens a 
spacing of five feet by three feet is generally sufficient. It is 
advisabl to plant two or more varieties, as the pollenating of 
the blueberry is done by insects, mainly bumblebees. 
While blueberries do well in partially shady locations, full 
sun is preferable, as the fruit ripens earlier, more evenly and 
the sugar content of the berries is higher.
