CULTURE 
The Highbush Blueberry grows from Maine to 
Florida and is grown commercially in East- 
ern North Carolina. 
Tlanting: Select a moist and preferably sandy loam 
soil, nighly acid and high in organic matter. 
Waterlogged or droughty sandy soil are not 
desirable. Cultivated blueberries will grow on 
soils where wild blueberries and huckleber- 
ries are to be found. Do not plant in areas 
which have been heavily manured or limed. 
For home planting work % to 1 bushels of 
peat mess or oak leafmold into the soil for 
each plant to be set. Late fall or winter plant- 
ing is mest desirable. Set plants at the same 
depth as grown in nursery. 
Number to Plant: For home use 6 to 12 plants each 
of the Rabbiteye and Highbush Blueberry are 
recommended for an average family. The 
Highbush will set fruits in May, June and 
July and the Rabbpiteye in late June, July 
and August. At least two varieties of each 
type should be planted to provide adequate 
cross-pollination. 
Spacing: Commercial Planting—4 ft. apart in the 
rows, with rows 8 ft. apart, 1300 plants per 
acre. Home Planting—set variety Weymcuth 
4 ft. apart and other varieties 6 ft. 
Landscape Planting: Weymouth is an attractive 
small shrub for setting about the home or 
in the foreground; Scammell, Rancocas and 
Rubel are taller growing for shrub borders 
planting. Jersey, Stanley and Dixi are excel- 
lent for hedging or screen planting. Set in 
full sunlight for best results. 
Culture: Pruning will not be necessary at time of 
planting as we prune all stock to reduce pack- 
ing and shipping costs and to insure best 
growth for you. Remove % of fruit buds the 
folowing winter. As plants mature prune 
vack old wood to allow new shoots to develop. 
Fertilize with azalea-camelia or 6-8-6 com- 
mercial fertilizer at the rate. of one level 
tablespoon per plant applied after growth 
begins and two later applications at six week 
intervals. Plants should be watered or ferti- 
lizing delayed unless heavy rains dissolve 
previous application. Increase fertilizer slight-
