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 ‘ields. 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. 
Will Grow Anywhere—Garden, Lawns, Along Walks 
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 can be grown anywhere with little extra care. 
How to Plant and Grow Keith’s 
Cultivated Blueberries 
0 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 is 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 row, spacing rows 10 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, one part acid peat, leaf mold, marsh soil, or BETTER YET, Keith’s Acid 
Peat Humus (see page 3) which we guarantee for our Cultivated Blueberries. 
Pack this mixture firmly in the bottom half of the hole, then set the bush in on 
packed 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, from the bottom to 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, 
then 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 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 ‘‘prepared"’ soil (see 
page 3). Set the bush in the middle and fill full with prepared soil, working 
in wel: among and around the roots. Pack firm and water with water free 
from lime. Use ‘‘fertilizer'' water made with fertilizer that comes with the 
bush (page 17). Feed bush every three weeks with this ‘‘fertilizer water.” 
Keep the soil acid and moist. Follow suggestions on page 3, also instructions 
that come with bushes.
