m r ARKET prices in recent years are reasons why ever> commercial gro\\ er 

 j\ /I should plant Dewberries. Townsend's Select Strain Dewberry stock is 

 L V _L. in fine shape this year and just waiting to turn themselves into ready 

 profits for thousands of market growers and home gardeners. The Dew- 

 )erry is a trailing blackberry and a little less hardy. However, Devsberries 

 ipen much earlier than blackberries, are a much larger fruit, and they ha\e a 

 iner fiavor. It has been successfully grown on a large scale in the central and 

 outhern states, however since the advent of the Youngberry, the Boysenberrv 

 ind the Necterberry varieties, the planting section of the Dewberry has been ad- 

 anced some two hundred miles north. Growers have been reporting excellent 

 esults as far north as Rhode Island and western New "\'ork. Due to the very 

 ine texture of Dewberries, long hauls should be avoided and the\ should be 

 )laced on the market soon after picking.
