Three Cultivated Blueberries growing in a galvanized trough 24 by 24 
inches by 8 feet long, filled with prepared soil (see below). Planted two 
years. Six-year bushes used. Note height and spread, 4 to 6 feet tall. 
Lots of berries. 
Grow Blueberries In a Galvanized Trough 
Any one of Keith's Blueberry offers may be grown in a box or gal- 
vanized trough 18 to 24 inches by 36 inches deep by 8 feet long. Fill 
6 inches in bottom with prepared soil (see below), set in the bushes 
and follow instructions as in planting on lawn or garden. If possible 
use soil from Huckleberry or Blueberry marsh where they grow wild. 
Use Plant Food solution in planting—page 18. 
Have a Permanent Blueberry Planting 
Dig hole 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, 3 feet deep, and line bottom and 
sides with heavy roofing paper to keep out tree roots. Fill with a mix- 
ture of one part top soil, to two parts Keith’s Acid Humus at right. 
If leaf mold is available, substitute it for Acid Peat Humus or use one- 
third each of all three. In this bed, set 3 Keith’s Blueberry bushes. 
To water properly, sink one 4-inch tile near each bush (top flush with 
surface) and fill with water when necessary to keep soil moist. Don't 
use water with lime in it. Use rain water, or water from lake or river. 
It is generally “‘soft.'’ Beware of ‘'city’’ water. Fertilize the bushes when 
set and three more times during summer with Ra-Pid-Gro (see page 18) 
dissolved in the water. 1 lb. makes 22 gallons.

YOU CAN GROW 
Now 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 low 
Easy to Grow marshes. NOT SO NOW. Now they can be successfuly 
grown, with very little soil preparation, anywhere about your yard, in your 
garden or in cultivated fields. They can be as easily grown as Roses or any 
ordinary shrub and in the same places. Those who have planted Keith’s Culti- 
vated 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. 
Keith’‘s Acid Peat Humus 
Ideal for Blueberry Growing 
Keith's Acid Peat Humus has the right acidity 
and contains the necessary plant humus for grow- 
ing Blueberries. It is taken from a marsh where 
layer upon layer of organic matter has been de- 
posited during ages past. We suggest mixing it 
at least two parts to one of your soil, or better 
yet leaf mold taken from under trees in woods. 
The more acid your soil and the more humus it 
contains, the less Acid Peat Moss necessary. It 
is also very beneficial in building and maintain- 
ing lawns, enriching the soil around Roses, 
shrubs, growing Rhododendrons, Holly, etc. It is 
a soil builder and makes plants grow. 
Price: 142-bu. bag, $1.85; 3 or more at $1.65 
each. 
Extra Peat Humus—Good Investment 
For lasting results and for better bush growth we suggest your getting 
an extra bag of Keith's Acid Peat Humus to be used in planting along 
with that we send with the bushes when ordered in the ‘’Ready-to-Bear 
Blueberry Gardens.” The holes can be dug a little wider and thereby 
afford a larger prepared soil for the roots to expand and grow into. If 
you order an extra bag along with the ‘Ready-to-Bear Blueberry Gar- 
dens,” a special price of $1.50 per bag will be allowed. 
How to Plant and Grow Keith's 
Cultivated Blueberries 
s 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 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, two parts acid peat, leaf mold, marsh soil, or BETTER YET, Keith’s Acid 
Peat Humus (see above) 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. We suggest using Ra-Pid-Gro in 
the water. It's a good Blueberry fertilizer (page 18). 
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 
this page). Set the bush in the middle and fill full with prepared soil, working 
in well 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 18). 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.
