You Can Grow 
Now Plenty of Blueberries 
In Your Garden, On Your Lawn, Along Your Walks or 
Drive, and Have Them for Years for Your Table Use, 
Pies, Muffins, Etc. 
EASY TO GROW 
We used to think Blueberries could be grown only in 
low marshes. NOT SO NOW. Now they can be success- 
fully grown, with very little soil preparation, anywhere 
about your yard, in your garden, or in cultivated fields. 
They can be as easily grown as Roses or any ordinary 
shrub and in the same places. Those who have planted 
Keith's Cultivated Blueberry bushes now have plenty 
berries. It's easy to have them.

HOW TO PLANT AND GROW KEITH’S CULTIVATED 
BLUEBERRIES 
Keith's Cultivated Blueberries are as easily grown as 
Roses or shrubs. All you have to do is to see that the 
soil is moist, loose, and acid. To accomplish these, we 
suggest the following: Dig a hole 18 inches across 
(larger tor the larger bushes) and 16 inches deep, and 
fill half full with a mixture of one part your soil and two 
parts acid peat, leaf mold, marsh soil, or BETTER YET, 
Keith's Acid Peat Humus (see below) which we guarantee 
4 for our Cultivated Blueberries. Pack this mixture in the 
bottom half of the hole quite firm, then set the bush in on 
about 3 inches of the loose mixture and fill in around the 
roots and on top of them with the mixture until the hole 
is full. Pack down very firm, then water thoroughly until 
the whole mixture of soil from the bottom of the hole to 
the top is thoroughly soaked with water, rain water pre- 
ferred. DON'T USE WATER WITH LIME IN IT. It will 
sweeten the soil. The soil must be kept acid, and don’t 
let it become dry, and you can grow lots of Blueberries.

FIELD CULTURE 
Select a fertile acid soil, such as you would find in a drained 
Blueberry (Huckleberry) marsh. It must have ample water. - 
Wild Blueberries (Huckleberries), white ce- 
dar, leatherleaf, red maple, all indicate a 
suitable soil. No matter where located, the 
- soil must be acid (4.5 pH) and moist. Low 
meadow lands are often suitable. Set 
plants 5x8 feet (about 1000 per acre). Write 


[Beene 
A fruiting cluster (Rubel, see pages 2 and 3). 
The berries ripen over a period of 3 to 5 
weeks, much longer than Raspberries, etc. 
GROW BLUEBERRIES IN.HALF BARREL 
Take a half barrel, or large tub, and sink it 
in the soil even with the surface of ground. 
Fill two-thirds full with a mixture of one part 
rich loam soil and two parts Keith’s Acid Peat 
Humus, ‘pack firm, set bush in middle, and fill 
with mixture packed well. Keep the soil al- 
ways moist with rain water.

TO HAVE A PERMANENT BLUEBERRY 
GARDEN 
To have a Blueberry garden with marshy 
conditions, we suggest the following: Dig 
a hole 10 feet long, 6 feet wide and 4 feet 
deep, and fill it with the excavated soil 
mixed with Keith's Acid Peat Humus (1 
part soil, 2 parts Humus) or soil from a 
‘Huckleberry marsh. In this bed set six 
Cultivated Blueberry bushes. To have ber- 
ries sooner, use the older bushes. To hold 
water and keep tree roots and soil water 
out, cement the bottom and sides to within 
1 foot of the top. To water the bed, set six 
4-inch tile flush with top of surface and 
pour rain water into them to keep soil 
always moist. Mulch the surface with leaf 
mold, Keith's Acid Peat Humus. 
This Acid Peat Humus has the right 
acidity and contains the necessary or- 
ganic matter and humus ideal for the 
successful growing of the Cultivated’ 
Blueberry. In it they will grow and 
produce their big, beautiful berries. We 
recommend it for this purpose. It should 
be mixed 2 to 1 (in volume) with ordi- 
nary soil. The more acid and the more 
humus in your soil the less Keith's Acid 
Peat Humus necessary. It is also very 
beneficial in building a lawn, enriching 
your garden soil, and the soil around 
shrubs, roses, etc., and the growing of 
Strawberries. It’s a soil builder and 
makes plants grow. Price: 114-bu. bag, 
$1.50; 4 or more bags at $1.35 per bag.
