THE YOUNGBERRY 
The vines are vigorous and sometimes grow twenty feet in one sea¬ 
son. Although the vines are thorny, the fruit stems hang out from 
the vines making them easy to pick. We set 1,000 plants to the acre, 
making the rows about 9 feet apart and setting them about five feet 
apart in the row. Should be set as early in the spring as possible al¬ 
though some set in the fall. As vines start to run, keep them train¬ 
ed along the rows so they will notf be in the way of the plow. In 
winter place posts along the rows every ten feet and string two wires 
on them, the first wire being about eighteen inches from the ground. 
In the early spring tie your vines up to the wires, stretching the vines 
out full length. One set of posts and wires will last the lifetime of 
the plants or ten to fifteen years. After fruiting, cut out all old 
wood and train and cultivate the vines as you did at the first. Plow 
and hoe when needed. 
Whatever you do plant some Youngberries, they have the flavor of 
the Red Raspberry and are a cross between the Austin Dewberry and 
the Loganberry. They make the best jelly, marmalade and jam ever. 
In Southern Alabama they have cleared from $550.00 to $650.00 per 
acre from Youngberries and in California as much as $1,000 per acre. 
We have tried the Youngberries thoroughly over the past 6 years 
here in our own fields, and have found them to pay us more net 
money per acre, for the cost put into them, than any berries we are 
raising now, once planted you have them for years, and through the 
very dry weather-summer of 1934, and the still harder one of 1936 
our Youngberries came through 85 to 90 per cent good, there is no 
other berry vine or vines that have done this, and we are doubling 
our planting. Try one acre or more now, while you can get the real 
original strain.
