SENSATIONAL PROFITS FOR COMMERCIAL OR HOME PLANTING 



JUSTLY reputed to be the largest and finest berry ever produced, the Boysenberry is a grower's 

 answer to certain profits. This newest addition to the berry family came as a result of 

 crossing blackberries, raspberries and loganberries. Possessing the best attributes of its parents, 

 the Boysenberry is a veritable giant — often growing more than 2 inches in length, and 1 inch in 

 diameter. Its flavor is a subtle and absolutely delicious blending of its parent berries, and the 

 tremendous yields, plus its excellent crop, spell success for the Boysenberry in a big way. And, 

 tremendously important also is the fact that — it comes into bearing the next year after planting 

 and one planting lasts for many years. 



Commercial growers share with home gardeners their enthusiasm and delight in the abundant 

 growth and remarkable quality of Boysenberry. The fruiting season generally lasts for as long 

 as two months and it is not unusual to pick 20 baskets of berries to the plant the second year 

 after planting. We strongly recommend that you give this extraordinary berry a trial. You're

DEWBERRIES

PRODUCTIVE 



PROFITABLE 



MARKET prices in recent years are reasons why every commercial grower 

 should plant Dewberries. Townsend's Select Strain Dewberry stock is 

 in fine shape this year and just waiting to turn themselves into ready 

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

 berry is a trailing blackberry and a little less hardy. However, Dewberries 

 ripen much earlier than blackberries, are a much larger fruit, and they have a 

 finer flavor. It has been successfully grown on a large scale in the central and 

 southern states, however since the advent of the Youngberry, the Boysenberry 

 and the Nectarberry varieties, the planting section of the Dewberry has been ad- 

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

 results as far north as Rhode Island and western New York. Due to the very 

 fine texture of Dewberries, long hauls should be avoided and they should be 

 placed on the market soon after picking. 



* YOUNGBERRY 



A new trailing variety of the Dewberry' 

 family. Combining ail of the best features 

 of the Raspberry, Blackberry and Dewberry, 

 this new variety' has a rich, spicy flavor that 

 is delightful to the taste, and unsurpassed 

 for sheer productivity. Its large, uniform, 

 and practically seedless fruit place it among 

 the highest price drawing fruit on any 

 market. Excellent for jellies, canning, or 

 eating fresh, Youngberry is tops for either 

 commercial growers or home gardeners. 



# LUCRETIA 



Remarkably productive and exceptionally 

 hardy, this variety is reputed to be the best 

 of this class of fruit. Lucretia ripens early 

 and its fruit are large, firm and meltingly 

 delicious. Grown successfully and on a 

 large scale in the south, this variety has also 

 been a profitable winner in northern states.
