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.

You can easily grow Keith's Cultivated Blueberries. At one end of the 
garden, on your lawn like shrubs, along your walks or drives, as a hedge 
planting. They will grow anywhere with little extra care. 
How to Plant and Grow Keith‘s 
Cultivated Blueberries 
‘ 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 
suitable. Set the plants 6 feet in rcw, spacing rows 9 feet apart (about 800 
per acre.) Write us for further 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, ieaf mold, marsh soil, or BETTER YET, Keith’s Acid 
Peat Humus (see page 3) 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. 
Growing Blueberries in Half Barrel 
Blueberries may be grown in a half barrel, large tub, or box submerged or 
not, in the soil so the top is even with the surface. These containers are used 
to prevent outside roots (trees, shrubs, etc.), and soil water from entering the 
prepared soil. For drainage make a few holes in the side of the barrel about 
one foot from the bottom. Fill the barrel two-thirds full with a mixed soil as 
directed on page 3 under ‘Permanent Blueberry Garden” and ‘’Keith’s Acid 
Peat Humus,” page 3, set the bush in the middle and fill full with prepared 
soil, working it well among and around the roots of the bush. Pack firm 
and water with water free from lime. Use ‘‘fertilizer’’ water made with the 
fertilizer that comes with the bush (page 17). Keep the soil acid and moist. 
Follow suggestions under ‘'Garden Culture’ on this page, also instructions 
that come with bushes.
