YOUNGBERRY 
For the home garden we do not know 
of a blackberry or dewberry that will 
afford as much real pleasure from a small 
investment as the Youngberry. It is 
very easy to grow and a great producer, 
12 plants being sufficient to furnish the 
table with all the fruit you can use, giv- 
ing you the same quality fruit for years 
to come, with a little attention in cut- 
ting out the old wood after harvesting 
is over. The fruit can be eaten direct 
from the vines or placed on the table 
without an addition of sugar on them. 
Every home garden should have sufficient 
plants to enjoy this great berry. 
FOR THE MARKET GARDENER OR 
COMMERCIAL FRUIT GROWER 
The berries also attract considerable 
attention on the market owing to their 
enormous size, and find a ready sale at 
a commanding price wherever offered. 
Yields of as high as 8000 quarts to the 
acre have been reported, and no Market 
Gardener interested in dewberries should 
pass up the opportunity of testing out ~ 
this variety. You will find that a few 
dollars invested will bring good divi- 
dends on your investment. We will be 
glad to quote on quantities larger than 
listed below to anyone writing us.
