PRESTON’S BERRY RANCH 
Boysenberry 
The Boysenberry, a new Introduc¬ 
tion to the berry family last season, 
w.ll no doubt become our most popu¬ 
lar bush berry, superseding the 
Youngberry, which has held this fav¬ 
ored position for the past eight or 
ten years. In color anrl shane the 
Boysen is identical with theyoung- 
berry, but is fifty percent larger, 
more highly flavored and a heavier 
cropper. Here in Southern Califor¬ 
nia, the fruit starts ripening about 
June the first in average seasons, ten 
days later than the Youngberry, and 
lasts about two weeks after the 
Youngberry is gone. The vine is a 
very thrifty grower and should be 
trellised for the best results. Plant 
seven to eight feet apart in rows six 
feet apart. A trellis of two wires, 
the bottom wire about two feet from 
the ground and the top one four feet, 
is sufficient. 
When we make the assertion that 
the Boysenberry is the largest and by 
far the nnest of all bush berries, it is 
unnecessary to add anytihng further. 
Prices: 12, $2.00; 25, 4.00; 50, $7.50; 
1C0, $15.00; 1000, $125.00. 
The Youngberry 
The Youngberry, which has been 
our most popular bush berry for 
several years, is a crous between 
the Loganberry and the Austin 
Dewberry, but is far superior to 
either one. It resembles the dew¬ 
berry in productiveness, hardiness 
and freedom from disease. The 
fruit is more like the Logan, but is 
larger, sweeter, darker rod in color 
and has a more pleasing flavor. The 
bush is a very strong grower and 
should be trellised. Plane seven to 
eight feet part in rows six feet 
apart. 
Prices: 50, $2.50; 100, $5.00; 
1000, $30.00
