productive.

sturdy upright bush noted for it’s high 
production of medium sized aromatic 
berries. A good color and a very good 
shipper.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Cultivated Blueberry plants require a 
moist, acid soil. The best growth usually 
occurs when acidity ranges from pH 4.3 
to 4.8. Good growth can be had on soil 
with a pH value as low as 4. Where the 
acidity is this low an application of hy- 
drated lime at the rate of 100 lb. to the 
acre will result in better growth. When 
the acidity is as high as pH 5, finely 
ground sulphur or ammonium sulphate 
can be used. 
The best indication that blueberries will 
succeed on any soil is to know that 
huckleberries, laurel or azaleas are found 
growing naturally. 
The soil should be well prepared. 
Plant in eight-foot rows and allow four 
feet between plants. 
Shallow tillage should be practiced so 
as not to harm roots. Clean cultivation is 
essential to control weeds. 
Fertilizer should be applied 6 to 12 
inches from plant at the rate of 100 lb. 
per acre for new fields. First. application 
should be after plants have made new 
growth, then another application about 
six weeks later. A 5-10-5 or 7-7-7 mixture 
is satisfactory. 
Two or more varieties should be 
planted to insure cross pollination.
