The Youngberry 
A Basket of Youngberries —% Actual Size 
In southern California this berry no 
longer needs an introduction and hardly 
a description, but for our customers in 
sections where it is less known we wish 
to say: It is, without question, the finest 
berry that we have ever grown and we 
have been in the business many years. 
The fruit is very large, dark red, nearly 
black, and has a rich, blended, flavor 
that is pleasing to nearly everyone. It 
has few seeds, and for pies, jams, jellies 
and preserves it far surpasses any other 
berry yet developed. The vines grow 
vigorously, are very productive, and are 
easy to grow. 
There are more acres of Youngberries 
in southern California now than of any 
other berry except strawberries, and an¬ 
other planting season will probably 
make this condition general throughout 
the state. 
The quality of the fruit is so very 
good that the demand has kept pace with 
the planting and there are thousands of 
consumers who are just beginning to get 
acquainted with the berry. As proof of 
the growing popularity of the Young- 
berry, the Government “Market News 
Service,” reported 56 carloads sold on 
the Los Angeles market during the sea¬ 
son of 1932; while in 1933 it reported 
sales of 127 carloads of Youngberries. 
This large increase in sales (more than 
double), clearly shows that the public is 
fast becoming acquainted with Young¬ 
berries and is demanding them. 
The Youngberry is not only popular in 
California but is giving a good account 
of itself throughout the country wher¬ 
ever it has been planted. We are con¬ 
stantly receiving reports from growers 
from all over the U. S. praising the 
Youngberry and telling of their success 
The demand for Youngberries for com¬ 
mercial uses is growing fast. Each 
season more of the large baking plants 
are learning of the superiority of this 
berry and are using more and more for 
pies. The commercial preservers are also 
increasing their pack each year. As 
compared with other farm products, 
Youngberry prices have declined much 
less than other crops. 
The popularity of this new berry is 
not surprising to those who have seen 
and tasted them. They are some larger, 
more juicy, and much sweeter than Lo¬ 
ganberries. They are much larger, less 
seedy, and finer flavored than other dew¬ 
berries and blackberries. They bear 
abundantly and the fact that they ripen 
fast and are very large and easily ac¬ 
cessible makes them the cheapest berry 
to pick that we have ever grown. In 
California the bulk of the crop ripens in 
June.
