Gentlemen: 
I wish to tell you that the Cherry 
Rhubarb I purchased from you last 
month grew 100% and look fine 
now. 
Yours truly,

A Bow of Berries Instead of a Hedge 
In the spring of 1930, Mr. T. S. Bean, 
605 Golden Ave., Fullerton, Calif., took 
out a privet hedge which enclosed his 
back yard, and in its place planted a 
fifty foot row of Macatawa Blackberries 
on one side and a row of Youngberries 
fifty feet long across the back. These 
berries did so well and Mr. Bean was so 
interested in them that he and Mrs. 
Bean decided to keep a record of the 
crop. At the end of the season last 
summer they found that they had got¬ 
ten 273 boxes of Blackberries and 176 
boxes of Youngberries. Mr. Bean is a 
Trust Officer in one of the Fullerton 
banks and spends his Saturday after¬ 
noons working in his yard. He enjoys 
the work and gets his exercise at the 
same time, and we will have to admit, 
SOME BERRIES TOO. 
All of this was from just a border 
along one side and across the rear of 
his back yard. 
$1.00 Per Plant, First Crop 
Mr. Stanley Jones, Route 2, Ana¬ 
heim, Calif., stopped in to see us 
the other day and said, “I want to 
tell you about the berries I got 
from you last spring. We ordered 
two dozen Youngberry plants and 
when we set them out we found 
that you had put in 27 plants, every 
one of which grew. As they grew 
larger we made large basins around 
them and kept them well watered. 
We keep poultry, and several times 
during the season we scattered 
poultry manure in these basins and 
soaked it down with the irrigation. 
This summer we picked 85 trays or 
1020 baskets from this 27 plants. 
We used all we could fresh, made 
jams and jellies, and canned all we 
wanted for the winter, and sold 
$27.50, and could have sold many 
more. I want to get plants enough 
to set out about that many more 
next spring.” 
Mr. Jones has a beautiful acre 
home place on Lincoln Ave., west 
of Anaheim, and is employed in 
town. Results like this should make 
us commercial growers sit up and 
take notice, for sales of $1.00 per 
plant would mean one thousand dol¬ 
lars per acre in a commercial field.
