N YOU CAN GROW 
Ow PLENTY OF BLUEBERRIES 
IN YOUR GARDEN, ON YOUR LAWN, ALONG YOUR WALKS OR DRIVE. 
HAVE THEM FOR YEARS FOR YOUR TABLE USE, PIES, MUFFINS, ETC. 
We used to think Blueberries could be grown only in 
Easy to Grow low marshes. NOT SO NOW. Now they can be suc- 
cessfully 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 of berries. It's easy to 
have them. It’s no trick at all nowadays to grow and have plenty of big, 
sweet Blueberries. No need trudging through wet, boggy marshes any more. 
G Garden—La — 
Will Grow Anywhere—Sins wane 
You can easily grow Keith’s Cultivated Blueberries. At one end of the gar- 
den, on your lawn like shrubs, along your walks or drive, as a hedge plant- 
ing. They will grow anywhere with little extra care. 
How to Plant and Grow Keith’s 
Cultivated Blueberries 
s Remember, the Blueberry must have an acid soil (pH 
Field Culture 4.0 to 5.1) and plenty of water. Keep this in mind in 
selecting your soil for commercial plantings. A drained Blueberry (Huckle- 
berry) marsh would be ideal. Growths of White Cedar, Leatherleaf, Red Maple, 
etc., are indications of suitable soil. But to make sure always have the soil 
tested for acidity. Water table should be 30 to 48 inches below surface. Some 
soils are found to be too acid and this can be corrected by the addition of lime. 
See your county agricultural agent. Low meadow lands are sometimes suit- 
able. Set the plants 6 feet in row, spacing rows 9 feet apart (about 800 per 
acre.) Write us for furthur information. 
For Garden or Lawn Planting 
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 for larger 
bushes) and 16 inches deep, and fill half full with a mixture of one part your 
soil two parts acid peat, leaf mold, marsh soil, or BETTER YET, Keith's Acid 
Peat Humus (see below) which we guarantee 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 preferred. 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. COMPLETE 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS AND CARE COME WITH EACH SHIPMENT. 
Grow Blueberries in Half Barrel 
Blueberries may be grown in a half barrel, large tub or box, the same may, 
or may not be submerged in the soil. We suggest the latter. The container is 
used to prevent outside roots (tree, shrub etc.) and soil water from entering into 
the prepared soil. Sink the container in the soil so the top is even with the 
soil surface. Fill two-thirds full with a mixture of 1 part rich loam and 2 parts 
Keith's Acid Peat Humus, pack firm, set the bush in the middle and fill full, 
working the soil well around the roots. Pack firm and water with water void 
of lime. Keep soil acid and moist. Follow suggestion under Garden Culture. 
Keith’s Acid Peat Humus 
This Acid Peat Humus hos 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 kerries. We 
recommend it for this purpose. It should be mixed at least 2 to 1 (in volume) 
with ordina’y 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.
