6 J TRUE GIAINT HIMALAYA BERRY 
On© of the Greatest Berries Ever Offered 
ONE PLANT 
FROM PHOTO 
JULY 
This wonderful berry was recently introduced from the cold regions of 
the Himalaya Mountains. There are several different forms of it, but this 
seems to be the only one of general value: It grows like a grapevine, and can 
be trained to a trellis of any kind. The plant is extremely hardy, and for ra¬ 
pid and immense growth it is almost unbelievable. A single cane, under fa¬ 
vorable conditions, will, if permitted, often reach a growth of fifty feet in a 
single season. Sprouts do 
not come from the ground 
like the blackberry, but 
start from the one root. 
These canes, when one or 
more years old, send out 
fruit laterals from sixteen 
to forty inches long, which 
bear enormous crops, from 
6 to 10 tons per acre. For 
these and other reasons ap¬ 
parent to the grower, the 
vines should be pruned and 
trained high with plenty of 
room. It should not be for¬ 
gotten that the plant is a 
perennial, not an annual, 
and cornea to perfection in 
three years. For the best 
results it should be treated 
as a fruit tree, and pruned 
accordingly. About four 
canes should be allowed to 
grow from a root and train¬ 
ed to suit. After reaching 
the length desired, the tip 
should be pinched off so that the vine will not expend any more energy in 
that direction, but will give attention to fruit bearing. Blossom is shell pink, 
the size of a peach bloom. Berries 
jet black, oblong in shape, port 
wine flavor. No other berry 
will so amply repay the la¬ 
bor expended upon it. The 
fruit is one of the best sellers on 
the market. The plant begins to 
fruit in July, continuing until 
October and producing more 
fruit each year. There is no 
berry in existence like it. The 
fruit is large.almost coreless.and 
unsurpassed for eating when 
picked fresh from the vines, or 
cooked, canned or preserved in 
any form. Plants do wellin the 
hot, dry sections of the South and 
West, and are making wonderful 
records in the Middle, Northern 
and Eastern states. 
This is certainly a most won¬ 
derful berry,because the vines do 
not die down after fruiting, as is 
the case with other berries, but 
continue to live and grow year 
after year like a grape vine or ap¬ 
ple tree. It is perfectly hardy ev¬ 
erywhere, there being no winter

it John A. Mitchell. Gainesville,Ark., writes: 
The Himalaya Berry has made a growth far 
beyond my expectations. They have covered a 
trellis 40 feet each way and are still growing.” 
Another patron writes that he planted 2 plants 
in 1907. and in 1908 he picked $31.00 worth of be-ries 
at 15c per quart. In 1909 ho sold over $54.00 worth of 
berries. 
Just think this over. $31.00 worth of berries 
from 2 plants 1 year old. What would an acre of 
these berries bring you ? Do you know of any bet¬ 
ter investment?

Some of the vines have run 35 feet this season. The Berry beats 
the old Blackberry, and is better for jellies and canning. This vine 
is the wonder of the town.
