The SMALL FRUITS 
• Every home garden should have a few berry bushes. When a screen 
is desired for the back yard and you do not feel that you can afford 
hedge planting, you can use berries for screening purposes. They are 
both profitable and beautiful during the growing season, when the yard 
is most in use. Berries from your own bushes are a constant source of 
pleasure during the season. 
We offer only well grown, thrifty plants and list only those which have 
been proven for home and commercial planting. Berries should be 
planted in January or February as they leaf out early in the spring. We 
prepay postage on all berry and vegetable orders within the fourth zone. 
The total number of berry or vegetable plants purchased (excepting 
strawberries) determines the quantity rate which is to apply on the order. 
Strawberries are grouped separately.

BLACKBERRIES 
Cory Thornless. A nice berry for the 
home garden, as the smooth canes make 
it easy to handle and harvest. The fruit 
is very large, with small seeds and hand¬ 
some jet black in color. Sweet and 
pleasant in flavor. 
Mammoth. A rampant grower of trail¬ 
ing habit. Fruit very large, handsome 
jet black, sweet and good. The berries 
are almost identical with Cory Thorn¬ 
less. The vine differs from that variety 
by having thorns and producing more 
heavily. 
Himalaya. A blackberry having many 
points to commend it. It bears enormous 
crops with fruit ripening from July un¬ 
til October—the longest season of any 
blackberry. The plants are unusually 
long lived and get along with less water 
than other berries. The fruit is medium 
size, roundish, juicy, with very good 
flavor. 
YOUNGBERRY 
Of comparative recent introduction 
but has been gaining in popularity so 
fast it is now one of our most impor¬ 
tant berries, both in the home garden 
and commercially. The fruit is large, 
reddish black, with rich pleasing flavor. 
The seeds are few in number and soft. 
The vines are vigorous, prolific, with 
few thorns which makes picking very 
easy; trailing in habit. It is easy to 
grow, thrives almost everywhere and 
we highly recommend it. 
LOGANBERRY 
Thrives in nearly all sections in Cali¬ 
fornia. The fruit is large, dark red; 
sub-acid in flavor. Ships well. Highly 
prized for canning, jams, and jellies. 
PERFECTION CURRANT 
A leading variety in all sections. Fruit 
is bright red and of good size. The 
plants are abundant producers. 
CHAMPION GOOSEBERRY 
Berries medium in size and of good 
quality. Free from mildew. The lead¬ 
ing commercial variety in California. 
THORNLESS LOGANBERRY 
(Plant Patent 82). A new variety 
having strong growing, thornless canes. 
Berries larger than common variety 
with longer fruiting season. Promises 
to become an important berry for home 
planting and commercial use.

Cuthbert. (Red). Our best home garden 
variety and also an important commer¬ 
cial sort, especially in southern Califor¬ 
nia. The fruit is a deep red and of ex¬ 
cellent quality. Mid-season. 
Ranaree (St. Regis). The best com¬ 
mercial red raspberry for central Cali¬ 
fornia. The berries are bright red, me¬ 
dium in size, and firm. Has a very long 
ripening season and ships remarkably 
well. 
Cumberland Black Cap. The leading 
black raspberry. The fruit is of fine ap¬ 
pearance, tastes good, keeps well, and 
sells well. Every berry grower should 
have a few Black Caps. (Priced the 
same as blackberries.)

Banner. The leading variety for both 
commercial planting and the home gar¬ 
den in territories near San Francisco 
Bay. The berry is a beautiful deep red; 
large, sweet and with fine flavor. The 
fruit is firm and ships well. It bears 
heavily over a long period and the plants 
are long lived. 
Dorsett. Introduced by the U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture in 1934 and 
trial plantings made in California in 
1935. Produces heavier crops than any 
other commercial variety tested by the 
Department, and has a long producing 
season. On heavy soils, plants must be 
allowed to run, as matting will curtail 
production. The berry is very large, 
firm, beautiful, and most important is 
superior in quality to most other berries. 
The color is light red and they make 
attractive display when in the basket. 
Progressive Everbearing. The best so- 
called everbearing strawberry. Bears 
heavily for many months during the 
year. The fruit is medium in size, a 
deep red color, with good flavor. A good 
home garden sort.

The Boysenberry is nothing less than 
marvelous. The great size of the ber¬ 
ries, together with the abundance of the 
crop would prove an attraction to any 
planter. Combine with these features 
the flavor of the fruit, which adds to 
that of the Youngberry the characteris¬ 
tic raspberry flavor, and you have a 
berry which needs neither cream nor 
sugar for garnishment, but garnish with 
cream and sugar, and the Boysenberry 
makes a dish fit for a king. 
The Boysenberry is far superior to 
the Youngberry, both in size of berries 
and flavor of fruit. The berries attain a 
size of 1)4 to 1)4 inch in length with 
a girth of about 1 inch. The regulation 
basket will hold only about half as 
[ 20 ] 
many Boysenberries as Youngberries. 
The berries are deeper in color than the 
Youngberries and are palate tempting in 
appearance. The vines are somewhat 
more vigorous than the Youngberry. 
They are very heavy bearers, carrying 
the fruit in large clusters. They begin 
ripening a few days after the Young¬ 
berry and continue to fruit for about 
two weeks after them. 
Because of the many desirable fea¬ 
tures of the BOYSENBERRY, the 
home garden should have several of 
them. The commercial planter will find 
a ready market for them, in any local¬ 
ity. A planting in a young orchard 
should carry a large part of the expense 
of bringing the orchard into bearing. 
For commercial planting, the vines 
should be planted either 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 
feet apart. They will produce the second 
year.
