NEW BOYSENBERRY 



HARDY QUICK GROWER— HEAVY YIELDER 



• Profitable FOR COMMERCIAL OR HOME PLANTING 



The commercial planter who sets Boy- 

 senberry this year can be assured of 

 large profits from his excellent crop 

 of fine flavored, large, attractive 

 berries. The tremendous yields that 

 are received from Boysenberry will 

 considerably cut down your cost of 

 production, and if sold only at ordi- 

 nary berry prices, a good profit can be 

 realized, although it is a well-known 

 fact that Boysenberry brings from 30 

 to 50% higher prices than the Young- 

 berry and other blackberry varieties. 



We find Boysenberry to be per- 

 fectly hardy, and are of the opinion 

 that it can be grown successfully as 

 far north as Vermont if given winter 

 protection. 



The home gardener will also ap- 

 preciate this fine berry. Leading hor- 



ticulturists say, "Plant a row of 

 Boysenberry and it will be the pride 

 of your garden." Because of our 

 limited supply of these plants this 

 year, we would advise ordering early.

BLUEBERRIES 



NEW CULTIVATED VARIETIES 



The blueberry plants are a source of 

 fine fruit — large, plump tender berries, 

 the size of grapes and practically seed- 

 less, combined with an ornamental 

 shrub of rare beauty. The varieties we 

 offer are those lately originated by the 

 Department of Agriculture, and are 

 divided into three seasons of ripening — 

 any of which we can furnish — early, 

 midseason, "and late. Two or more 

 plants should be set to insure cross- 

 pollination and full crop. A free copy 

 "How to Grow Blueberries" will be 

 glady sent free to all that request it.
