Our Blueberry Plants Are 
Produced From Carefully 
Selected Bushes 
In offering our Certified Blueberry plants 
we do so with pride as to the health and 
sturdiness which are apparent in them. 
First of all we had to choose the varieties 
which would suit most climates and pro- 
duce good fruit. Then careful selection of 
cutting wood was made from healthy and 
vigorously producing bushes. 
We have abandoned the old system of 
propagating in slat houses out of doors. In- 
stead, we are using a greenhouse devoted 
entirely to the propagation of Blueberries. 
One of the greatest advantages in propaga- 
tion under glass is that the period of grow- 
ing time for rooting is extended about three 
months. Through this longer rooting per- 
iod, we are able to set the rooted cuttings 
in the nursery in the fall, thus giving them 
a chance to settle in their new location and 
make additional root growth before cold 
weather sets in. In the greenhouse shad- 
ing can be controlled, watering is done as 
required, and damage by insects and other 
pests can be virtually eliminated. 
Easy to Grow 
Blueberries are not as difficult to grow as 
some people believe, but they do need a 
little special attention. Those folks who 
give them this special attention are well re- 
warded for their efforts. . 
Our belief is that a two-year-old plant is 
the best size to set out (unless you would 
rather start your own nursery with rooted 
cuttings). A two-year-old plant should be 
pruned back and not be allowed to bear 
fruit the first year, so that all the strength 
of the growing plant may be thrown into 
the root system. 
September, October, April and May are 
the ideal times for setting out Blueberry 
plants, with the Fall months preferred. 
Acid Soil Essential 
The essential requirement for successful 
Blueberry culture is an acid soil, one well
