Now you can have home-grown blueberries— 
big, luscious, marble-like berries so good picked 
fresh (and eaten with cream and sugar), deli- 
cious in pies or preserves, or frozen fresh for 
next winter! 
The new perfected hybrids are big, shrublike 
plants which grow 4 feet or more high and just 
as broad. Planted in moist, acid soil, they will 
bear heavy clusters of giant fruit in 2 years. To 
make your soil acid, a 1-pound bag of aluminum 
sulphate is included with each order. Your Farm 
Bureau will test your soil for acidity. 
A mixture of sand and peat is most desirable. 
If your site is not too moist, you'll have better 
luck mulching with sawdust or peat than with 
cultivation. Peat will furnish needed nitrogen. 
A little extra care will pay you well. The plant itself is 
beautiful, with creamy white, fragrant blooms in spring, 
followed by attractive, delicious fruit. In fall the foliage 
turns a brilliant red. Plants require a limited amount 
of winter protection and some pruning. They have no 
harmful enemies; require no spraying.

RUSSIAN OLIVE 
The charming silver-gray foliage of Russian Olive lends a pleasing 
contrast to deeper greens. It makes a good background, too, for 
red-leaved shrubs like Red Leaf Barberry, Red Flash and Red 
Silver Flowering Crab. In spring it is covered with small, very 
fragrant, yellow flowers, followed by small berries that attract 
birds. Picturesque when bare in winter. Grows anywhere, reach- 
ing the height of a small tree in some sections, or a large shrub 
in the North. 3-4 ft., $1.35 each; 3 for $3.85, prepaid. 2-3 ft., 
$1.10 each; 3 for $3.10, prepaid.
