DEWBERRIES 
HE DEWBERRY is a trailing blackberry and a little less hardy. It is 
grown on a large commercial scale in the central and southern states. 
With the introduction of the Youngberry and Boysenberry, and Nectar- 
berry varieties, which are hardier than the Lucretia, the planting sections 
of the Dewberry have been advanced some two hundred miles north, and 
growers now are reporting good results as far north as Rhode Island and 
Western New York. Dewberries ripen earlier than Blackberries, are much 
larger, and have a very fine fiavor. We consider the dewberry an ideal 
addition to the home garden. They are becoming very popular on the 
market. On account of the texture of the Dewberry it should be placed 
on the market soon after picking and long hauls be avoided. Unless 
weather is cool and favorable for such trips, they should not be picked 
when dew is on or when fruit is damp. 
LUCRETIA. Exceptionally hardy vines that may be successfully planted in the 
——_-——— Northern States, also grown on large scale 
in the South—large, firm, juicy fruit. 
NEW-THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY. If you 
are troubled with the thorns when picking 
some of your dewberries we suggest this 
grand new thornless variety. This berry 
bears the same description, as its parent, 
which we describe at top of this page, only 
it’s thornless. 
YOUNGBERRY. The Youngberry, a trailing 
variety of the Dewberry family, has built up NEW NECTARBERRY 
for itself a reputation for size and eating qualities, which make it highly prized 
by growers everywhere. For sheer productivity and high market prices, it’s tops 
For ca home gardener, the Youngberry offers real pleasure from a small invest- 
ment. 
NEW—ACME THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY (Patented Plant Patent +4). The only 
strain of Youngberry without thorns. The Thornliess is equally as productive as 
the parent thorny type—in some cases has exceeded it, matures fruit few days 
earlier and continues its season slightly longer, foliage vigorous. Its outstanding 
point is in the fact that no thorns appear on this variety, making picking very 
easy. 
NEW—NECTARBERRY. This variety of dewberry has proven hardy under drought 
and cold, being grown in New York without winter injury. Fruit is little larger 
than Boysenberry, is of fine flavor. Ripens about two weeks later than Young: 
berry, thereby extending fruiting season of the dewberry. A fine flavored variety, 
very productive, valuable for market gardeners and home plantings.
