SPIREA, Froebeli 
The Outstanding DWARF Spirea 
This shrub is very popular where a low colorful 
plant is wanted such as under windows, or in front 
of tall evergreens by the doorway or corners of the 
house. Bright, rosy red flowers in flat clusters are 
produced in July and August. The foliage is very 
attractive, turning to a striking purple-red in the 
fall. Closely resembles Anthony Waterer Spirea, 
but is hardier, more colorful in autumn, and is very 
lrought resistant. Grows anywhere. One of the 
inest and most popular border shrubs. 18-24 in., 
- each; 3 for $2.35, prepaid.

FREE. With each order of three plants, you 
will receive 1 pound of aluminum sulphate 
to make your soil acid. Work this into the 
top 6 inches of soil. 

Now you can have home-grown blueberries—big, 
luscious, marble-like berries so good picked fresh 
(and eaten with cream and sugar), delicious 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 cultiva- 
tion. 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. 
Because the plants are not self-fertile, you will need two 
or more varieties: 
STANLEY, RUBEL, and JERSEY
