NEW BOYSENBERRY 
CUROSITY 
In California where the Boysenberry has been offered for sale for a 
few summers, had you been passing the fields of those lucky growers 
who had them, when they were ripe, you would have thought they 
were holding an old time camp meeting. Hundreds of people came 
from many miles around in order to see, taste, and purchase this 
marvelous berry right in the fields at two to three times higher price 
than that for which other vineberries were selling. 
TRELLIS 
Vines grow much better if left on the ground and merely trained in 
straaight rows. This does not give the sun an opportunity to burn 
your vines nor the wind a chance to break them to pieces. Do not 
put vines on trellis until they commence to bud or about February or 
March, just before they start to set your crop. Trellis should consist 
of three wires, No. 14 gauge, 20 inches apart. 
FERTILIZATION 
There is nothing better for fertilization than barnyard or chicken 
manure. However, you may carefully use any kind of fertilizer that 
is high in nitrogen. 
CULTURE 
If you will set out Boysenberry plants very early you may have a few 
sample b:rries the first season, but your big crop will come the follow¬ 
ing summer. 
CULTIVATION 
Berry vines are shallow rooted. Therefore, deep and frequent culti¬ 
vation merely tears to pieces the roots which cost good money to 
develop. It has been found that about the only cultivation necessary, 
to most soil, is to remove weeds. We would suggest that you plant 
them in rows say 8 feet wide, and 4 to 6 feet within the drill this 
will take about 1,360 plants to the acre. 
RESERVE NOW 
There have now been reserved ten times more plants than were sold 
up to January 1st last season and if you desire to plant the Boysen¬ 
berry this coming season it would surely be wise to make your reserva¬ 
tion now. Not 1-10th of the population of the United States has 
seen or tasted this marvelous berry and when they do there is going 
to be the greatest stampede for these plants that has ever been known 
for any plant. 
There will not be sufficient plants during the coming season to sup¬ 
ply the demand. Therefore, you should make reservations at once.
