THE NEW BOYSENBERRY 
WHAT IS THIS BOYSENBERRY? 
The Boysenberry is a cross between Cuthbert Raspberry, 
Loganberry and Blackberry, developed by Rudolph Boysen, 
grower and superintendent of parks at Anaheim, California. 
The nurseries now have another big berry for release to the 
nation’s growers that is likely to supplant the Youngberry, 
as a can crop and fresh product. It is larger and somewhat 
later than the Youngberry which created a furor several 
years ago and above all the Boysenberry has a most remark¬ 
able and delicious flavor, partaking of these of its three 
parents. In growth the Boysenberry is much the same as the 
Youngberry and you can easily grow from 10 to 30 plants 
from each plant feet. Many growers claim 50 to 65 plants. 
Now, Mr. Berry Grower, you know some one in your 
neighborhood will plant Boysenberries and why not you be 
first? If you will do this you are one year ahead and when 
your neighbor sees the wonderful berries you have he will 
not only want fruit but plants as well. You who have a 
small garden will never regret setting 10 to 20 of these 
plants which will produce all the berries you can use—fresh, 
canned, jam and jell and still have plenty with which to make 
your friends and neighbors happy. We urge each and every 
one of our customers to get some of these plants. 
Boysenberry is a very sturdy plant. Don’t think because 
it originated in California that it is subtropical. We know 
the plants are grown in Florida, Oklahoma, Ohio and Oregon. 
It appears that neither heat of Florida nor cold of Ohio, 
dampness and humidity of Oregon and Florida, or dry Okla¬ 
homa has hurt them in the least. Boysenberry is so sturdy 
we believe it can be grown successfully in our coldest states 
if canes are left on the ground during the winter and 
mulched w r ith straw. 
THE FINEST VINE BERRY YET DEVELOPED

The Lucretia (The Creeping Blackberry) is so far ahead of any other variety of the Dew¬ 
berry that we have discontinued growing other kinds. The berries are a deep glossy black, 
large in size, and of a fancy quality. As Lucretia fruits at the close of the strawberry 
season, and about two weeks before ordinary blackberries come in, there is always a demand 
for Dewberries on the market. The Lucretia bears long, cylindrical-shaped berries which are 
very firm. 
This variety of Dewberry is the only disease-resistant type yet produced. The plants are 
vigorous growers, hardy in the South and mid-South. 
Dewberries are very easy to cultivate, and due to their large size, they are not difficult to 
pick. The common method of growing them is to plant in rows seven feet apart, setting 
the plants five feet apart in a row. In the Northern states the Dewberry is not perfectly 
hardy and a straw mulch is usually used to cover the entire field. In the South and mid- 
South this is unnecessary unless the vines are to trail on the ground. Straw mulch is 
sometimes used then to keep tne ripening berries from coming in contact with the ground. 
YOUNGBERRY Often the vines are trellised on a single wire. Remember,, you cannot buy better Dewberry 
plants than Waller’s True-to-name plants. 
The YOUNGBERRY 
During the years we have grown and fruited the New Youngberry its success has been phe¬ 
nomenal, often yielding 200 cases of fancy berries to the acre. This year we are offering our 
customers an improved variety — a Thornless Youngberry. In every test this variety has 
shown itself equal to the Thorny kina. The only difference apparently is that the improved 
variety is the old kind minus the thorns—and that’s an improvement. 
The Youngberry is a glowing, dark purple in color, very sweet, firm enough to ship, and 
of a high dessert quality. The large berries measure an inch in length and more than half 
an inch in diameter. The plants are vigorous growers and perfectly hardy. 
Youngberries are no more difficult to cultivate than other vining berries. Set in blocks 
seven feet by seven feet, using a two wire trellis four feet high for the vines. Cultivate as 
any other berry, cutting the dead wood after the vines have fruited. 
We recommend the Thornless variety. Our plants of this type are bought direct from the 
propagator and sold under patent.
