Ever since the Boysenberry was introduced two years ago we have 
claimed that it was the very finest berry that could be grown in California. 
Since the Boysenberry has now been tried in other sections of the country 
and has proved to be remarkably hardy and adaptable to a wide range 
of climatic conditions, it seems to be at the very top as far as the entire 
country is concerned. 
The Boysenberry is the largest of all 
berries, averaging l'/2 to 2 inches in 
length and 1 inch in diameter—just twice 
the size of the Youngberry. The berries 
are jet-black, more highly flavored and 
less seedy than the Youngberry, and 
they pick, keep and ship in a way that 
brings delight to the heart of a berry 
grower. Housewives will be glad to 
know that they make the very finest pies 
and jams, and they can exceptionally 
well. 
Boysenberries produce exceptionally 
heavy crops. The big vigorous vines are 
simply loaded with the big fruit clusters 
which start to ripen 10 days later than 
the Youngberry and continue two weeks 
after Youngberries are gone. This is the 
season when berries are most in de¬ 
mand. 
The Boysenberry has proved to be 
hardy and thrives over almost all of 
the United States, having safely stood 
temperatures as low as 14° below zero. 
It is indispensable to the commercial 
berry grower, and as few as ten plants 
will produce quantities of wonderful 
big berries for the home. Plant the vines 
8 by 8 feet, without irrigation, or 6 by 
6 feet with irrigation. They are usually 
grown on the ground the first spring 
and trained on a trellis the next spring.

Kosmo Vines are 
Early in the Season with 
Big, Juicy, Jet Black 
Berries. 
The Boysenberry 
Biggest and Finest of All Berries 
The Kosmo Blackberry 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 39) 
The Kosmo is one of the finest Blackberries grown 
on the Pacific Coast, producing enormous crops of 
beautiful big berries. The berries are large and long, 
U /2 to 2 inches in length, jet-black in color, and so 
sweet and juicy that they melt in your mouth, and 
the seeds and core are almost nonexistent. The Kosmo 
bears enormous crops, the main crop ripening early in 
the season, usually during the first week in June in the 
vicinity of Ontario, and ripening over a period of about 
one month. A second crop often follows early in 
August. 
We know from experience that Kosmo berries make 
the very finest kind of jam and pies. While Kosmo 
has not quite the keeping qualities of the Youngberry 
or the Boysenberry, its large size and exceptionally 
fine quality will make it popular. The vines are vigor¬ 
ous growers, sending out 8 to 10 foot canes, and must 
be given a trellis for support. Plant 6 to 8 feet apart 
with the rows 6 feet apart. 25c each, $2.00 per 10, 
$15.00 per 100. 
Blackberries 
Crandall's Early Blackberry. (Macatawa). One of the 
earliest berries to ripen, producing great quantities of 
medium size, firm, sweet, black berries, with few seeds 
and almost no core. It never fails to bear and will 
grow under more adverse conditions than any other 
berry, being hardy everywhere. It ripens in June and 
July, with a lighter crop in the fall. The big upright 
bushes need no support. Plant them 5 feet apart in 
rows 8 feet apart. 15c each, $1.25 per 10, $7.00 per 100. 
Himalaya Blackberry. An exceedingly rampant grower, 
the canes often reaching forty feet in one season, and 
bearing enormous crops of excellent, medium sized, 
juicy, black berries. Ripens over a long season from 
June to late fall and provides plenty of berries after 
Youngberries and Boysenberries are gone. Plant on a 
trellis 10 feet apart in rows 8 feet apart. 15c each, $1.25 
per 10, $7.00 per 100. 
Y oungberries 
The Youngberry has been popular in California for 
some years. The large, firm berries are remarkable 
keepers and shippers. They are deep wine color, chang¬ 
ing to jet black as they age, with an exquisite piquant 
flavor. The seeds are so few and so soft that the 
berries may be considered as practically seedless, and 
even the cores are tender and melting, and they make 
splendid jams and jellies. The vines are heavy producers 
and extremely vigorous. Plant them on wire trellises 6 to 
7 feet apart. 15c each, $1.25 per 10, $6.00 per 100. 
Two Splendid Raspberries 
Columbia Purple. This Hybrid Rasp¬ 
berry has shown up wonderfully well in 
California. The big luscious berries are 
deep purple in color, surprisingly large, 
and borne in big clusters. It is a hybrid 
between Cuthbert and Cumberland Black 
Cap and will be a revelation to those 
who have not seen it and picked the 
fruit. They ripen continuously from early 
spring until late fall, and the plants grow 
much larger and more vigorously than 
any other Raspberry. They make the 
finest jam and pie that it is possible to 
imagine. Plant about 5 by 8 feet. 25c 
each, $2.00 per 10, $15.00 per 100. 
Munger. This is the finest Black Cap 
that we have observed under California 
conditions, producing great quantities of 
large jet-black berries, sweet and highly 
flavored. This variety does best in Cali¬ 
fornia because the plants are bigger and 
more heavily foliaged and protect the 
berries better. 15c each, $1.25 per 10, 
$8.00 per 100. 
Dewberry 
Gardena Dewberry. The very earliest 
berry that we have, ripening two weeks 
before any other kind. Large, glossy 
black fruit of fine flavor, borne abundant¬ 
ly. 15c each, $1.25 per 10, $7.00 per 100. 
These are Boysenberries, Shown Natural Size.
