beauty the year round than the Blueberry. During the 
summer the foliage is a deep, rich satiny green, and 
against this background hang clusters of berries royal 
in their magnificence. The leaves are crimson and a 
bronze in autumn and twigs red in winter. In the spring 
are the pink buds and the white flower bells.

Cultivated Blueberries prefer an acid soil containing an abundance of peat or other partially rotted vegeta- 
ble matter. They also need a moderate supply of moisture and good drainage. If your soil is not already acid 
this condition may be created easily by mixing with the surface soil a liberal quantity of acid peat, partially 
rotted leaves, pine needles, sawdust or chip dirt. Flowers of Sulphur will also help to maintain soil acidity. 

Factors Influencing the Early Bearing of Small Fruit Plants 
1. Set out plants as free from disease as possible. 
At all times dig out and burn any plants which are 
distinctly unhealthy. This does not apply to leaf spot 
or anthracnose on the leaves which may be controlled 
by spraying. (See spray recommendation for the 
various plants on other pages of this catalog.) 
2. Keep your plantings in good culture by frequent 
stirring of the soil, and free from weeds and grass. 
8. Top dress with an abundance of nitrogen ferti- 
lizers in early Spring—checking growth in early 
August. Oats is often planted between the rows at 
that time as a cover crop. 
4. Loose, loamy, well-drained soils rich in humus 
are best for all berry plants; a northerly slope is 
desirable but not a necessity. Avoid low ground and 
frost pockets. 
5. Set out varieties adapted to your locality. Most 
of our catalog descriptions cover this point. 
6. The Everbearing varieties of Raspberries and 
Strawberries will usually produce some fruit the first 
Autumn. after planting. 
7. At all times follow good cultural practices. Many 
: of these are listed briefly in this catalog and in our
