A Year-Round Shrub 
As an ornamental shrub the Blueberry is 
outstanding, as each season brings its beau- 
ty. <A planting of these bushes in your 
shrubbery border or in your garden will 
yield delight at any time. In Spring, they 
are full of creamy, fragrant blossoms, fol- 
lowed by the clusters of characteristically 
blue fruit. The plants are compact and low 
growing with waxy green leaves turning to 
a brilliant scarlet in the Fall. Even in win- 
ter the stems are a dark red and very 
showy among other planting.
