J. A. BAUER PLANT COMPANY’S BLUE RIBBON BRAND PLANTS 
The New Boysenberry 
This Serry is going to upset the berry 
market just like the Youngberry did, and 
those who start with it early are the ones 
that will make the money. 
This wonderful new fruit was propa¬ 
gated by crossing Loganberries, raspberries, 
and blackberries. The Boysenberry makes a 
vine growth similar to the Youngberry, ex¬ 
cept that the carte growth is a little more 
vigorous and the leaves are darker green 
and the fruit spurs, that grOw from each 
leaf Joint in the s'pring, average about two 
inches longer. The long spurs project the 
berries well away from the vines making 
picking much easier. There are one or two 
more berries to the spur than Youngberries 
and the fruit is much larger and ripens 
slower. In color the fruit is identical with 
Youngberry, but is more highly flavored 
and less seedy. It is absolutely the largest 
vine or bush berry grown. It is a better 
shipper and canner than the Youngberry. 
The Boysenberry is exceeding prolific. 
Be one of the first to grow this new 
fruit in your locality. Boysenberries have 
returned as much as $1,760.00 per acre in 
California. 
The Youngberry 
This is a grand fruit and we think it 
will pay you to try them. 
They have made yields of 20,000 pints 
to the acre in California and have also 
made good yields in Alabama and Georgia. 
The berries run about an inch long; are 
purple in color; have a fine flavor and are 
very productive. The flavor is somewhat 
like a raspberry instead of a dewberry. The 
vines are vigorous and sometimes grow 
twenty feet in one season. Although the 
vines are thorny, the fruit stems hang out 
from the vines making them easy to pick. 
Wbat ever You Do plant some Young- 
berries, 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 clear¬ 
ed from 1550.00 to $650.00 per acre from 
Youngberries and in California as much as 
$1,000.00 per acre. 
CULTURAL INSTRUCTIONS OF THE BOYSENBERRY AND 
THE YOUNGBERRY 
We set 1^000 plants to the acre; making 
the rows about 9 feet apart and setting 
them about five to six feet in the row. 
Should be set as early in the spring as pos¬ 
sible although some set in the fall. As 
« 
vines start to run keep them trained along 
the rows so they will not be in the way 
of the plow. In winter place posts along 
the rows every ten feet and string twc 
wires on to 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 life¬ 
time of the plants or ten or fifteen years. 
After fruiting, cut out all old wood and 
train and cultivate the vines as you did at 
first. Plow and hoe when needed.
