TOEMORE *02 
THE BEST EARLY SHIPPING VARIETY 
THE NEW BLAKEMORE, although introduced scarcely 
more than ten years ago, has been fruited in practically every 
state in the Union, and its success has been so phenomenal 
that in many districts it is rapidly displacing its parents, the 
Premier and Missionary. As a plant maker, a shipping berry, 
and a prolific yielder, it has not been bettered, and added to 
these admirable qualities is the fact that it will grow and 
yield a fair crop under conditions not favorable to berry cul¬ 
ture. Where other varieties of early strawberries will grow 
and yield, we firmly believe that the Blakemore will grow 
better, yield more, and be of better quality than the other 
variety. We have fruited this berry for several years and 
we are so pleased with it, and we are so confident that our 
customers will be pleased with it, that we recommend it to 
all strawberry growers. 
The Blakemore is a tart berry of the Missionary type. Its 
foliage is dense and it is more resistant to disease than either 
the Premier or Missionary. It grows well during the short 
days of winter and spring, and although it is an early bloomer, 
it has never been winter injured here. Last season when the 
Klondike yield was cut short by fully fifty per cent the Blake¬ 
more produced a full crop. 
This berry is slightly blunted at the point, conic-shaped, 
with broad shoulders and slim neck. Its bright green cap 
curls upward when the fruit ripens, making it easy to pick 
and hull. 
The Blakemore is firmer than either of its parents. It will 
not puff and become soft during hot, moist weather. It will 
not bleed unless given uncessary abuse, and unlike many other 
early berries, it retains its bright red color long after picking. 
This fact coupled with its earliness gives it a great advan¬ 
tage in the wholesale markets. 
With us the Blakemore fruits two or three days ahead of 
the Premier and about a week before the Missionary. For a 
good early shipping berry which is adapted to a wide range 
of conditions, and one which yields an enormous harvest, we 
recommend the Blakemore. Better Blakemore plants cannot 
be had than WALLER’S quality plants. 
NEW 
BOYSENBERRY 
THE 
WHAT IS THIS BOVSENBERRy? 
The Boysenberry is a cross betwen Cuthbert Raspberry, Lo¬ 
ganberry and Blackberry, developed by Rudolph Boysen, 
grower and superintendent of parks at Anaheim, California. 
The nurseries now have another big berry for release to the 
nation’s growers that is likely to supplant the Youngberry, 
as a can crop and fresh product. It is larger and somewhat 
later than the Youngberry which created quite a furor sev¬ 
eral years ago and above all the Boysenberry has a most re¬ 
markable and delicious flavor, partaking of these of its three 
parents. In growth the Boysenberry is much the same as the 
Youngberry and you can easily grow from 10 to 30 plants 
from each plant set. Many growers claim 50 to 65 plants. 
Now, Mr. Berry Grower, you know some one in your neigh¬ 
borhood will plant Boysenberries and why not you be first? 
If you will do this you are one year ahead and when your 
neighbor sees the wonderful berries you have he will not 
only want fruit but plants as well. You who have a small 
garden will never regret setting 10 to 20 of these plants which 
will produce all the berries you can use—fresh, canned, jam 
and jell and still have plenty with which to make your friends 
and neighbors happy. We urge each and every one of our 
customers to set some of these plants. 
Boysenberry is a very sturdy plant. Don’t think because 
it originated in California that it is subtropical. We know 
the plants are grown in Florida, Oklahoma, Ohio and Oregon. 
It appears that neither heat of Florida nor cold of Ohio, 
dampness and humidity of Oregon and Florida, or dry Okla¬ 
homa has hurt them in the least. Boysenberry is so sturdy 
we believe it can be grown successfully in our coldest states 
if canes are left on the ground during the winter and mulched 
with straw. 
THE FINEST VINE BERRY YET DEVELOPED 
FOR HOME USE
