BLUEBERRIES 
Blueberry plants are very showy 
and attractive. The foliage is glossy 
green in spring, and blazing crimson in 
autumn. They can be planted in a 
group in practically any corner of a lot 
or a field. 
The plants like acid soil. Soil can 
easily 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 four or more plants of differ- 
ent varieties are grown in close prox- 
imity perfect fertilization of the blos- 
soms will take place, and the result 
will be abundant crops. Consequently, 
our blueberries are sold in units of 4 
plants (mixed varieties) or in blocks 
of 8 plants or more (mixed). Orders for 
single plants will not be accepted.
