Keith’s 5-Year Ready-fo-Bear 
Blueberry Bushes 
Why wait two or three years for your Blueberries 
when you can set Keith’s 5-year, ready-to-bear bushes 
and have berries this July and August? 
These bushes have been grown and transplanted in 
our nursery rows for five years and are ready to fruit 
for you this summer. They will eliminate all that time 
and uncertainty when younger bushes are set. They 
will save you at least two years. This summer, under 
favorable conditions, they will fruit their third crop of 
berries. 
They come bundled in burlap with planer shavings 
packed around their roots, which should be used in 
mulching the plants. Sent by express.

special price. 
Now you can grow all the Blueberries (often miscalled 
Huckleberries) you need right in your garden, along 
walks, next to the garage, any place you can grow 
shrubs or Roses. All you have to have is (1) an acid soil, 
(2) moist soil, and (3) liberal amount of humus in the soil. 
The kind of soil does not make so much difference as 
long as the above conditions are present. If your soil is 
not sufficiently acid (should be between 4.0 to 5.1 pH) it 
can be made so by adding Keith’s Acid Peat Humus. It 
will also correct the humus deficiencies. 
Free Instructions 
With each Blueberry offer you receive easy-to-follow 
instructions covering, (1) Garden Culture, (2) Barrel Cul- 
ture, (3) Field Culture, (4) Pruning, Care, etc. These 
instructions make the growing of Keith's Cultivated 
Blueberries EASY.

Spacing of Bushes 
This year we are supplying our 
customers, besides the Acid Peat 
Humus, with Special Blueberry 
Fertilizer to be used in growing 
our Blueberry bushes. It’s a high- 
ly .concentrated, complete fertili- 
zer (see page 17). The Acid Peat 
Humus (page 3) also comes with 
all Blueberry offers. 
In a permanent planting of Keith's 
Cultivated Blueberry bushes, for 
garden or lawn purposes, should be 
spaced at least 4 feet apart. Closer 
spacing will cause crowding. The 
wider spacing will also allow soil 
building as bushes get older and 
root spread becomes greater. Rows 
should ke 10 feet apart in field cul- 
ture and bushes 5 feet in the row.
