  deep

  to 
  be 
  dry,

   moisture.

  bushes 
  should 
  be 
  thoroughly 
  trimmed

  fine 
  fruit.

   our 
  patrons 
  a 
  thornless 
  

   type 
  of 
  youngberry 
  that 
  § 
  

   promises 
  to 
  entirely 
  1 
  

   take 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  

   type 
  of 
  youngberry. 
  It 
  

   is 
  a 
  very 
  vigorous 
  grow- 
  

   er; 
  an 
  abundant 
  bearer 
  

   and 
  equally 
  as 
  large 
  or 
  

   larger 
  in 
  most 
  cases 
  with 
  -^S^^^^S^ 
  

   the 
  added 
  advantage 
  of 
  

  

  being

  harvest 
  your 
  berries 
  with 
  your 
  bare 
  

   hands.

  The 
  

   youngberry 
  is 
  becoming 
  more 
  and 
  more 
  popular 
  and 
  

   we 
  believe 
  every 
  producer 
  of 
  small 
  fruits 
  should 
  have 
  

   some 
  of 
  them.
