Proven Berry Plants i r KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE r r 
Trees and Vines 
Himalaya Blackberry —A very rank 
and vigorous grower of the trailing type 
which has to be trellised. It has the 
longest fruiting season of any of the 
blackberries; the season lasting from 
about July 15th to October. Berries are 
round, medium size, and grow in very 
large clusters. The canes do not die 
back every year like other blackberries, 
but continue to grow like a grapevine. 
Only the fruit spurs die back each year. 
This berry is very susceptible to the red 
berry trouble and will have to be thor¬ 
oughly sprayed for good results. This 
past season we picked twenty thousand 
baskets per acre from one of our plant¬ 
ings of Himalaya Blackberries. We ad- 
Himalaya Blackberry 
vise the commercial grower to give this 
variety careful consideration for it will 
greatly prolong your season and give 
you an income in the late summer when 
your other varieties are not producing. 
Plant ten feet apart in rows seven or 
eight feet across. About six hundred 
plants per acre. 
Prices, Prepaid—Each 15c, 10 for $1.00, 
25 for $2.00, 50 for $3.00, 100 for $4.50, 
1000 for $35.00. 
DEWBERRIES 
Gardena —This is earliest dew¬ 
berry, ripening three or four weeks after 
the advance blackberry and about ten 
days before ordinary blackberries are 
ripe. In Southern California picking 
starts from May 15th to May 25th, and 
lasts about a month. 
Lncretia —This variety is a very firm, 
handsome berry of good quality, which 
we recommend planting to prolong the 
early blackberry season, for it is about 
ten days later than the Gardena. Its 
heaviest bearing season comes at a time 
when the Advance is going out, and as 
it is a good shipper, it can be used to 
supply markets which have been taking 
the Advance. It is just as prolific as the 
Gardena, and better flavored, and larger 
and firmer than either the Gardena dew¬ 
berry or the ordinary blackberry. All 
of these qualities make the Lucretia a 
profitable berry and one that should be 
planted by all berry growers. 
Prices—All varieties of Dewberries— 
Each, 15c; 10 for $1.00; 25 for $2.00; 50

Oklahoma Says We Sell the Best 
Stillwell, Okla., Nov. 9th, 1933. 
Mr. Walter Knott, 
Buena Park, Calif. 
I am writing to tell you about the 
berry plants we got from you last 
spring, as I thought you would be 
interested in knowing how they have 
done here. The Youngberries did 
well and I am sure the fruit was as 
fine as what I have seen in Cali¬ 
fornia. The Macatawa blackberries 
produced a wonderful crop and the 
fruit was very large, much larger 
and finer flavored than any variety 
we have been growing in this sec¬ 
tion in the past. Because the fruit 
was better we found ready sale for 
it. I consider the Macatawa a won¬ 
derful blackberry. 
We had one row of Cumberland 
and one row of Munger blackcaps 
three hundred feet long from you 
last year. Both rows did fine, but 
the Munger was the better of the 
two. Prom these two rows we sold 
$27.00 worth of black raspberries, 
besides what the family used, and 
we all like blackcaps and used lots 
of them. If I had planted five acres 
of blackcaps last spring, and they 
had done as well as these two rows 
did, I could have bought any farm 
in the county when I sold my crop 
this summer. 
I am so well pleased with my 
small start of your plants that I am 
preparing land for several acres 
next spring. Will write you later as 
to plants. 
Yours very truly, 
SAM STORY. 
Plant blackberries; they are easy to 
grow; they produce well and sell well. 
They will make you money.
