 Size 



For certain success and greater profits be 

 sure to include Bovsenberries in your plant- 

 ings. It is an established fact that Boysen- 

 berry brings prices from 30'^ to 50'1- higher 

 than Youngberry and other blackberry 

 varieties. The tremendous yields and higher 

 prices will cut down your cost of produc- 

 tion considerably and give you an excellent 

 crop of luscious, large, attractive berries. 



Our experience has shown that Boysen- 

 berry is perfectly hardy. Commercial grow- 

 ers share with home gardeners their de- 

 light in the admirable qualities of both its 

 plant and fruit. Leading horticulturists say 

 "Plant a row of Boysenberry and it will 

 be the pride of vour garden." We say "order 

 early — plants are limited."

DEWBERRIES 



THE 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 flavor. We consider the dewberry an ideal addi- 

 tion to the home garden. They are becoming very popular on the market. 

 On account of the texture of the DeAvberry 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.

 the same description, as its parent, which we

 less.
