BLUEBERRIES — SPRING AND FALL 
Cultivated blueberries are hardy shrubs of rare beauty; they are doubly 
valuable because they are fruitful and ornamental throughout the entire year. 
Every home garden, no matter how small, has room for at least a few of 
these blueberry plants. It takes only a few plants to produce all the berries that 
an ordinary size family will need. As a commercial proposition it is one of the 
most profitable fruits to grow. There is a big market for these delicious blue- 
berries. They make good money in a very short time. You can begin picking 
the second or third year after planting. Plants last a very long time. 
Cultivated blueberries grow in large clusters, plump, tender, and practically 
seedless. They will grow anywhere that strawberries will, doing their best on 
a moist, acid soil which is kept mulched all summer. For pollination, plant at 
least two varieties. 
Our very low prices on large bearing age plants will give you berries years 
before smaller plants. We advise buying blueberry plants on a size basis. 
We recommend that you plant at least two varieties. Our plants are ready 
during the season so you may call and pick the plants up immediately.

ASPARAGUS PLANTS 
Home-grown asparagus is one of the easiest to grow and yet one of the 
most delicious treats available to the small gardener. Cut fresh in your own 
garden, it is unexcelled in flavor and quality. Start now to have a bed of 
your own. 
Our plants, if heavily fertilized in your garden, will produce some asparagus 
for you the next spring. The second spring, you can cut it for about one month 
and after that, if you continue heavy fertilization, you can cut it up to the lst 
of July each year. A bed, once started, will last as long as you take care of it.

ASPARAGUS CULTURE 
Set asparagus in rich soil a foot apart in a furrow 6 inches deep. Cover 
3 inches and tramp. In hoeing, work soil toward plants so that by mid-summer 
the ground is level. Do not cover 6 inches at first or plant will be smothered. 
Cut sparingly the second year, after that cut all shoots 6 or 8 inches high until 
about the middle of June, then let tops grow. Fertilize asparagus liberally, with 
stable or hen manure any time in summer or fall after cutting season is over.
