BERRIES 
For Pleasure and Profit 
What is nicer for the home garden than a berry patch. They have the ad¬ 
vantage of coming into bearing sooner than most fruits and certainly nothing 
is more relished than big, ripe, luscious berries. 
We offer hardy, well grown berry plants, and can supply practically all com¬ 
mercial and home garden varieties. Berries leaf out earlier in the spring than 
fruit trees and should be planted during January or February if possible. All 
our berry and vegetable plants are postpaid within the fourth zone if shipped 
by Parcels Post. The total number of berry or vegetable plants purchased 
(except strawberries) determines which quantity rate applies. In other words, 
all bush berries and vegetable plants may be grouped together, but strawberries 
are considered separately.

BLACKBERRIES 
Cory Thornless. A nice berry for the 
home garden, as the smooth canes make 
it easy to handle and harvest. The fruit 
is very large, with small seeds and 
handsome jet black in color. Sweet and 
pleasant in flavor. 
Mammoth. A rampant grower of trailing 
habit. Fruit very large, handsome jet 
black, sweet and good. The berries are 
almost identical with Cory Thornless. 
The vine differs from that variety by 
having thorns and producing more 
heavily. 
Himalaya. A blackberry having many 
points to commend it. It bears enormous 
crops with fruit ripening from July 
until October—the longest season of 
any blackberry. The plants are unusual¬ 
ly long lived and get along with less 
water than other berries. The fruit is 
medium size, roundish, juicy, with very 
good flavor. 
Kosmo (New) (Plant Patent No. 39). 
A very promising blackberry, somewhat 
resembling Mammoth but better in 
quality—sweeter, with fewer seeds, and 
probably the finest quality blackberry in 
existence. Bears well and appears to be 
particularly adapted to the interior. 
Price 5c higher per plant. 
YOVNGBERRY 
Of comparative recent introduction 
but has been gaining in popularity so 
fast it is now one of our most impor¬ 
tant berries, both in the home garden 
and commercially. The fruit is large, 
reddish black, with rich pleasing flavor. 
The seeds are few in number and soft. 
The vines are vigorous, prolific, with 
few thorns which makes picking very 
easy; trailing in habit. It is easy to 
grow, thrives almost everywhere and 
we highly recommend it. 
LOGANBERRY 
Thrives in nearly all sections in Cali¬ 
fornia. The fruit is large, dark red; sub¬ 
acid in flavor. Ships well. Highly prized 
for canning, jams, and jellies. 
DEWBERRY 
Lucretia. The best general purpose dew¬ 
berry. The berries are large, black in 
color, sweet and delicious. A prolific 
bearer; ships well. 
CURRANTS and GOOSEBERRIES 
Do well in the coastal regions and on 
the higher mountain plateaus. They 
sunburn easily and are not suited to the 
warm interior. 
Cherry Currant. The leading variety in 
the San Francisco Bay region. The fruit 
is of good size and bright red in color. 
Productive. 
Champion Gooseberry. Berries medium 
in size and of good quality. Free from 
mildew. The leading commercial vari¬ 
ety in California. 
THE REMARKABLE BOYSEN BERRY 
Originated by Mr. Rudolph Boysen and introduced in 1934 the new Boysen 
Berry is proving the greatest berry sensation since the youngberry. The 
berries are extremely large—up to 1% inches in diameter and 1% inches 
long—at least half again larger than the youngberry. In color they are 
identical with youngberries but are more highly flavored and less seedy. 
They ship exceedingly well and for canning they are outstanding, being 
vastly superior to anything else. The vines are extra vigorous and exceed¬ 
ingly prolific, and it fruits the second year after planting. The fruiting 
season is about 10 days later than youngberries. Plant Boysen berries now 
while the supply of fruit is limited and you should find them the most profit¬ 
able berry you have ever grown. They should be planted six to eight feet 
apart in rows (800 to 1,000 plants per acre) and trellised the second year. 
PRICE—Heavy Transplants: 1 to 10, 30c each.; 11 or more, 25c. Rooted 
Tips: $20 per hundred. Write for prices for lots of more than 300 plants.
