KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE r 
i Trees and Vines 
Lloyd George —The largest red rasp¬ 
berry grown. This variety was recently 
introduced into the U. S. from England, 
by the New York Fruit Testing Associa¬ 
tion. It is a heavy yielder. The fruit is 
of the highest quality and is borne in 
immense clusters. 
If planted in February it produces 
some fruit the first summer and fall. 
The cavity left when the berry is picked 
is smaller than in other varieties which 
makes the fruit heavier. The flesh is 
very juicy and the seed is small. It is a 
wonderful berry for home use and for 
local markets but of too fine quality to 
be a good shipper. In order to get maxi¬ 
mum size of both the fruit and the clus¬ 
ters the ground should be kept rich and 
well watered. 
We suucceeded in getting three hun¬ 
dred plants from the east last year. We 
planted one hundred of these and sold 
one hundred each, to two other commer¬ 
cial growers in different sections. We 
are all three very enthusiastic about 
this berry after one season’s trial. We 
want to plant at least one acre ourselves 
and one of the other growers who got 
them last spring has already ordered 
five thousand plants for this spring. If 
you are in any way interested in red 
raspberries you should have at least a 
trial planting of Lloyd George. 
There will only be a limited number 
of plants available this season. 
Prices—Prepaid for No. 1, heavy, well 
rooted plants—Each 20c, 5 for 80c, 10 
for $1.50, 25 for $3.00, 50 for $5.00, 100 
for $8.00, 1000 for $50.00. 
Cuthbert Raspberries 
100% Perfect 
Last February we purchased from 
you 80 Youngberry plants, 100 
strawberry plants, 5 fruit trees and 
6 grapevines. We never lost a sin¬ 
gle plant and they have all grown 
wonderfully well. Now will you 
please give me information on prun¬ 
ing and fertilizing the berries and 
grapes. 
Yours truly, 
CLIFTON WOOD. 
GROWING RASPBERRIES 
Raspberries are among our finest 
fruits and with proper care produce 
abundantly, but they will not stand ne¬ 
glect as blackberries and dewberries do. 
They are shallow rooted and require 
much more water than other berries and 
it is not enough to run a little furrow 
down by the side of the row, but the 
whole ground between the rows should 
be flooded with water. Then after they 
are growing well they should be kept 
fertilized. Nothing is better for this 
than plenty of manure of any kind, scat¬ 
tered in the whole space between the 
rows and soaked in by a heavy irriga¬ 
tion. In shipping raspberry plants it is 
customary to leave the canes a foot or 
more long. When the plants are set out 
it is very much the best practice to cut 
these canes off to within a very few 
inches of the ground. This will make 
them send up much stronger canes. As 
the first new canes reach a height of 
about twelve inches pinch them back a 
few inches. This will make them 
branch out. It is a good practice to go 
through the patch several times in the 
early part of the first growing season 
and pinch out the tips to make the 
bushes branch out well. 
Then in February, after the plants are 
entirely dormant, prune all of the canes 
and their branches back at least one- 
third of their length. Use plenty of 
water all season, and manure freely. 
When they send up suckers between the 
rows, hoe them out while small along 
with the weeds and do not allow but 
very few suckers to grow in the rows 
either. Follow these instructions and 
you should get a big crop of very fine 
raspberries the following year after set¬ 
ting your plants. 
Better Than Good 
Glendale, Calif., June 28th, 1933. 
Mr. Walter Knott, 
Buena Park, Calif. 
Dear Sir: 
Early in the spring of 1932 I 
bought 18 Youngberry plants and a 
few raspberries and wish to express 
my gratitude in the returns from 
same, especially the Youngberries. 
Have picked so far 127 FULL 
QUARTS of Youngberries and more 
yet on the vines. I only expected a 
fair crop, but they have eclipsed 
anything in yield that I have ever 
seen. They are simply wonderful, 
many as large as half of your 
thumb, and the jam and jelly we 
have put up surely makes a pretty 
sight to look at. 
I am considering planting Young¬ 
berries commercially in Texas and 
would like to know if the yield I 
have gotten here is average or is 
it exceptional. 
Yours truly, 
H. W. LOVE JOY. 
We are glad 1 to answer letters con¬ 
cerning the care of berries but if you 
will read the directions given on pages 
19, 20 and 21 and will send for bulletins 
listed you will have much more complete 
information than we can write you.
