There is a big market for these delicious Blueberries; 
they make money from any type of acid soil. Grow in 
: big clusters—S000 to 8000 pints per acre—easy to 
§ harvest, thornless. Plants last a lifetime, give bigger 
} yields every year 
If your soil is sweet, use peat moss or partially rotted 
getoble matter around the plants to create acid. The 
seriod of ripening covers several weeks, therefore 
ting can be done at leisure. Write us and ask for 
iree blooklet on Blueberry culture.

If you raise fruit for home consumption or commercial markets, how would you like to 
produce 100 quarts of delicious Strawberries from a plot of ground 40 feet long and 15 
feet wide or 7000 quarts per acre. How would you like this high yield the very first grow- 
ing season and a similar crop the second year? Such production is possible if everbear- 
ing Strawberries are raised by the spaced-plant, peat-moss-mulch system. On favorable 
locations and with some of the newer varieties such as Superfection, even higher yields 
can be expected. 
Renewed interest in growing Everbearing Strawberries has been brought about by this 
revolutionary system, whereby plants are set in rows 1 foot apart, plants 1 foot apart 
in the row, with 4 rows forming a bed. A 2-foot space is left between the beds to provide 
a path along which to work when picking the fruit or removing weeds. A 1l-inch layer 
of peat moss mulch is applied throughout the plot, and all runners should be removed 
from the plants as fast as they develop through the entire system. All blossoms are kept 
removed from plants until July 1 the first season. Plant in fertile soil. 
Complete planting and cultural data will be supplied upon request. If possible, plant in 
soil that has received an application of potash during the past few months or year. A 
balanced plant food for Strawberries should carry an analysis of 5% ammonia, 6% to 8% 
phosphoric acid and 10% to 12% potash, applied on a basis of 15 to 20’ pounds per 100 
yards of bed space. Apply after plants are set. 
At a cost of only $18.75 for 500 plants you can have this "back-yard” plot that should 
produce 100 quarts of berries the first season, starting about 90 days after setting the 
plants. It will require 35,090 plants for an acre. Commercial growers will quickly cap- 
italize on the idea because the berries ripen uniformly, meet with ready sale, and give a 
much greater yield, resulting in high profits. 
Diagram below shows method of planting a “back-yard’” Everbearing Strawberry 
patch that will produce 100 quarts of delicious berries the first year.

This illustration shows only a small section of 2 plants grown by the spaced-row system. 
An abundance of berries like those shown above are produced continuously from July 15th to 
November Ist. Each plant will attain about 12 inches to 15 inches spread.
