BERRIES 
For Pleasure and Profil 
Every home garden should have a few berry bushes. When a screen is desired for 
the back yard and you, do not feel that you can afford hedge planting, you can use 
berries for screening purposes. They are both profitable and beautiful during the 
growing season, when the yard is most in use. Berries from your own bushes are a 
constant source of pleasure during the season. 
We offer only well grown, thrifty plants and list only those which have been proven 
for home and commercial planting. Berries should be planted in January or Febru¬ 
ary as they leaf out early in the spring. We prepay postage on all berry and vege¬ 
table orders within the fourth zone. The total number of berry or vegetable plants 
purchased (excepting strawberries) determines the quantity rate which is to apply 
on the order. Strawberries are grouped separately.

Boysen Berry 
fruit is firm and ships well. It bears 
heavily over a long period and the plants 
are long lived. 
Dorsett. Introduced by the U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture in 1934 and 
trial plantings made in California in 
1935. Produces heavier crops than any 
other commercial variety tested by the 
Department, and has a long producing 
season. On heavy soils, plants must be 
allowed to run, as matting will curtail 
production. The berry is very large, firm, 
beautiful, and most important is supe¬ 
rior in quality to most other berries. 
The color is light red and they make 
attractive display when in the basket. 
Nick Ohmer (Perfect). A thrifty, me¬ 
dium late variety which is popular with 
the California commercial growers. 
Berries are large, glossy red, globular 
in shape, with a bright green cap. Very 
attractive when packed for the market. 
Progressive Everbearing. The best so- 
called everbearing strawberry. Bears 
heavily for many months during the 
year. The fruit is medium in size, a 
deep red color, with good flavor. A good 
home garden sort. 
EN BERRY 
the Past Season 
They are very heavy bearers, carrying 
the fruit in large clusters. They begin 
ripening a few days after the Young¬ 
berry and continue to fruit for about 
two weeks after them. 
Because of the many desirable fea¬ 
tures of the BOYSENBERRY, the 
home garden should have several of 
them. The commercial planter will find 
a ready market for them, in any local¬ 
ity. A planting in a young orchard 
should carry a large part of the expense 
of bringing the orchard into bearing. 
For commercial planting, the vines 
should be planted either 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 
feet apart. They will produce the second 
year.
