ey MOUTH — The earliest blueberry, vigor growing bush, has beauti- 
ful foliage, fruit is round, dark blue firm berry. Excellent for canning. 
\. JUNE — Another early berry ripens a few days before the Cabot. It 
Wate your highest hope of fresh fruit blueberries, also an ornamental 
ush. 
N RANCOCAS — A big rugged bush shoulder high. It is dependable in pro- 
duction, in qualities, style, and beauty. We wish to say it will give a lot of 
pleasure and profit and no trouble to grow. 
\ DIXIE — The largest blueberry ever introduced. They are larger than a 
nickel. You can’t doubt it as we have plenty of proof. Not as extensively 
planted as Rancocas, Rubel, and Jersey. 
RUBEL — We believe the Rubel is about the widest planted blueberry 
that we know of. It is hardy and productive, light blue, very firm, and ships 
well. The bush grows up in a desirable manner. 
\\ JERSEY — A late big blueberry. It is a good canning, freezing, and ship” 
ping berry. Really a general purpose berry. As an ornamental bush it has the 
style of any ornamental tree. 
BLUEBERRY CULTURE 
You should have two different varieties near each other, then they are 
both benefited through the blossom pollination. 
The land should be damp, but well drained, with the plants set either 4 
feet by 10 feet or 6 feet by 6 feet and remember that it is to bear fruit for 
70 years or more. Blueberries will grow from North Carolina to Alaska. Any 
where huckleberries, Azaleas or Mountain Laurel grows so will blueberries. 
Don’t use lime or stable manure, but if you do want to have the best blue- 
berries in your community get leaves and rotted limbs from the swamp and 
put around the plant. This keeps weeds down and moisture up. The secret in 
growing them is to keep the ground worked often and shallow so that the air 
can penetrate into the soil. 
This is one subject that we should be in a position to answer your quest- 
ions about as we have the government test plot for our neighbor.
