BLUEBERRIES 
Blueberry plants are very showy and at- 
tractive. The foliage is glossy green in 
spring, and blazing crimson in autumn. 
They can be planted in a group in practi- 
cally any corner of a lot or a field. 
We are offering the best fruited varie- 
ties developed by the U. S. Dept. of Agri- 
culture. 
The plants like acid soil. Soil can easilv 
be made acid by adding rotted leaves, peat 
humus, or sawdust, Set the bushes 5 to 
7 feet apart. A bush grown by itself will 
not bear fruit. Where 4 or more plants of 
different varieties are grown in close prox- 
imity perfect fertilization of the blossoms 
will take place, and the result will be 
abundant crops. Consequently, our  blue- 
berries are sold in units of 4 plants (mixed 
varieties) or in blocks of 8 plants or more 
(mixed). Each plant bears a name tag. 
Orders for single plants will not be accepted.
