a Geperts PICK THEM FRESH OFF THE BUSH 
Every home garden has room for at least a few of these plants. It takes only a few to produce all 
the berries a family will need. As a commercial proposition it is one of the most profitable fruits to 
grow. You can begin picking the second or third season after planting. : 
Blueberries are also ornamental shrubs of rare beauty. Plant them in rows, m clumps on the lawn, 
or in the shrubbery border. A hedge of Blueberries is both profitable and ornamental. _ 
Choose a piece of ground easily supplied with moisture during dry summer months; it should not, 
however, at any time become water-logged. Plant in full sun if possible; they will also do well in par- 
tial shade. Be sure the soil is acid. Give shallow cultivation, not over 2 to 3 inches deep.

CULTURE. Strawberry plants may be set 
as close as 2 feet apart in the row and the rows 
3 or 31% feet apart to allow for easy cultivation. 
At a planting distance of 2 by 31% feet, 6,300 
plants will be required for one acre. Do not 
plant too deep. The crown of the plant must be 
above the ijevel of the ground and the soil care- 
fully firmed around each plant. Shallow cul- 
tivation is important. Many growers mulch the 
plants with straw during the winter. This is 
applied Iate in the season when the ground is 
frozen, and may be left on in the spring. 
Streamliner. New jumbo-size everbearing 
Strawberry, glossy red and delicious, conical 
in shape, and very uniform in size throughout

off thereafter. Mulch between plants with straw, 
lawn clippings, leaves, etc. Surround bed with 
4-inch board on edge to make frame to hold 
mulch.

~The New 
Howard MIRACLE PLUM 
This is a grand new Plum far ahead of all vari- 
eties on the market. The tantalizing and deli- 
cious flavor, great size, firm, amber flesh and 
miniature seed, combined with the red and yel- 
low maple-leaved color make it truly outstanding. 
The tree is a very fast grower. Fruit matures in 
July and August and keeps’ well for a longer time 
than most Plums. It is difficult to describe the 
taste of the new Miracle Plum. Somé people 
compare it to pineapple; others say it is like plum 
and nectarine combined. AIl agree that it is 
wonderful, and from their exclamation of delight 
has come the name the Miracle Plum. Its intro- 
duction into commerce marks a milestone in the 
advance of fine fruits for the table. 
Healthy, strong trees, 5 to 6 ft. in height. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.75; 12 for $20.00. 
Ready to bear in one to three years after 
planting.
