Cultivated Blueberries prefer an acid soil containing an abundance of peat or other partially rotted 
vegetable matter, They also need a moderate supply of moisture and good drainage. If your soil is not al- 
ready acid this condition may be created easily by mixing with the surface soil a liberal quantity of acid 
peat, partially rotted leaves, pine needles, sawdust or chip dirt. Flowers of Sulphur will also help to 
maintain soil acidity. 

Factors Influencing the Early Bearing of Small Fruit Plants 
1. Set out plants as free from disease as possible. 
At all times dig out and burn any plants which are 
distinctly unhealthy. This does not apply to leaf spot 
or anthracnose on the leaves which may be controlled 
by spraying. (See spray recommendation for the 
various plants on other pages of this catalog.) 
2. Keep your plantings in good culture by frequent 
stirring of the soil, and free from weeds and grass. 
3. Top dress with an abundance of nitrogen ferti- 
lizers in early Spring—checking growth in early 
August. Oats is often planted between the rows at 
that time as a cover crop. 
4. Loose, loamy, well-drained soils rich in humus 
are best for all berry plants; a northerly slope is 
desirable but not a necessity. Avoid low ground and 
: frost pockets. 
5. Set out varieties adapted to your locality. Most 
of our catalog descriptions cover this point. 
6. The Everbearing varieties of Raspberries and 
. Strawberries will usually produce some fruit the first 
Autumn after planting.
