Research has shown blueberries contain high lev- els of antioxidants, vitamins and anthocyanins for fi ghting everything from memory loss and heart disease to infections and the common cold. Blueberry plants last for many years and increase in size and productiveness as the bushes become older. They are some- what self-fruitful, but fruit set will be greater
DWARF NORTHSKY
by planting more than one variety. We offer stocky, well-rooted transplants.
Dwarf Northsky BLUEBERRY CULTURE
Blueberries require a loose, acid soil (pH of 5.0 or less) well-supplied with organic matter. When planting we suggest work- ing into the soil ¼ to ½ lb. of Aluminum Sulphate per plant. Fertilize with Miracid (sold on page 24) in mid-July, and again early each spring and after fruiting. To maintain proper soil pH, apply Blue- berry Special Fertilizer each year and a top dressing of Soil Sulphur every 3 to 4 years.

Razz A BLUEBERRY WITH RASPBERRY FLAVOR
30139–Zones 4-7–You won’t fi nd this deli- cious, nutritious blueberry in any super- market.

acid soil in full sun. Stocky 2-yr. transplants. Each $11.95; 2 for $21.95; 5 for $49.95
