Growing blueberries in the
home garden can be a pleasant,
rewarding experience. Besides
producing delightful fruit, the
bush can also be used as an or
namental plant for borders, back
grouiudls, or screens. The foliage
is beautiful in summer and fur
nishes brilliant color in the fall.
Snow-white blooms are early and
welcome in the spring.
Blueberries should not be con
fused with the huckleberry that
grows wild in the woods. The
highbush blueberry is a much
heavier yielder, it has larger fruit,
and smaller seeds. The bushes
will grow to heights of five to
six feet in a few years. A doz
en bushes should be enough to
supply the average family.
The Extension Office is plan
ning to oridler bushes soon. They
will be two-year-old bushes, 12
to 18 inches in height. The price
will be 75c each. Person inter
ested should contact the office
immediately. Bushes will be
available in March.

pr. Familiarize yourself with
the going prices on brand-name
merchandise in your shopping
area so you will know a reduced
price when you see one.
Avoid fade and extreme styles,
no matter how little they cost on
sale. Something that has been
very popular may be on sale for
the simple reason that it is on
its "way out."
Check the store's policy on re
funds or exchanges. Nonretuma
ble merchandise should be plainly
marked, but often isn't, so you
must be sure to ask if you have
any dloubts about the item you are
