SMALL FRUIT 
BLUEBERRY 
The Blueberry —a beautiful plant — Plant them and 
give them a chance. In a few years they will be the queens 
of your home garden. Grow them for their beauty; grow 
them for their wonderful crops of fine fruit. The bush, the 
only one that pays its way yearly with a minimum of atten- 
tion. So beautiful are these new shrubs all through the 
year that one wonders how any other bush can be com- 
pared with them. In the spring, they are a veritible drift 
of creamy bloom, which is followed in midsummer by 
clusters and spikes of great berries of the bluest blue, 
unmatched for their luscious flavor. With the approach 
of fall, their leaves take on handsome colors of rich car- 
mine and coppery reds and coppery gold tha. lasts long 
after all other shrubs have been denuded of their foliage. 
Finally, when the garden lies half buried in snow, a clump 
of blueberry bushes with their pretty red and gold twigs 
will present a most intriguing patch of misty color just 
when it is most needed. 
Blueberry plants are long lived and will probably out- 
live us all. The cultivated berry will thrive almost any- 
where in our home grounds if treated like other shrubs 
and bushes, or fruit trees. All varieties are firm, very blue, 
meaty and have been known to keep for at least three 
weeks without sweating or withering.
