Blueberry Bushes are beautiful and make very Ornamental Bushes, reaching a height of from 6 to 8 feet, depending on the varieties you plant. Blueberries require an acid soil which contains an abundance of Peat Moss or other partly decayed vegetable matter. If your soil is deficient in acid, a heavy application of Peat Moss, rotted sawdust or rotted leaves should be applied. If not convenient to get either of the above, use Aluminum Sulphate. Use about one pound per plant. Your Druggist or Fertilizer Dealer in your town should be able to furnish the above materials.

They combine delicious flavor, attractive ap- pearance and health giving fruit value. Peaches can be grown on any soil that will produce the average yield of farm crops.
