How Late Can I Plant Nursery 
Stock In The Spring? 
Thi« 19 the qoesiion that comes up 
every Spring during the month of May 
after the first few warm days hare 
come and made the buds swell. Dor¬ 
mant nursery stock may be planted 
with safety throughout the United 
States and Canada even late in the 
Spring. We being located here in 
Northern New V'ork our season is 
much later than most sections of the 
country, hence we usually ship until 
about June 10th. Our advice, however, 
is to place your order as early as pos¬ 
sible, the earlier you plant the longer 
the growing season. Shipments com¬ 
mence late March and continue daily 
until early June.

Facts Relative To The 
Sensational New Boysenberry 
CURIOSITY. 
In sections where the Boysenberry has been offer¬ 
ed for sale for two 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. 
FRUIT KILLED 
During the past year we have had an extremely 
cold winter followed by an intensively hot summer, 
with a killing drought in many sections of our 
country. Many fimit trees and fruit bearing vines 
have been completely destroyed. Therefore, there 
will be large plantings of new fruit to take their 
place. It is very doubtful if you could find anything 
to equal the Boysenberry to take the place of lost 
trees and vines that so quickly will give you a pro¬ 
fit. Young orchards of all kinds are being interset 
with Boysenberries. It is suggested that you give 
this some thought. 
TRELLIS. 
Vines grow much better if left on the ground and 
merely trained in straight rows. This does not give 
the sun an opportunity to bum 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 
March, or just before they start to set your crop. 
Trellis should consist of three wires. No. 14 gauge, 
20 inches apart. 
TRUE TO NAME. 
Our Boysenberry plants are absolutely guaran¬ 
teed to be true to name. There is not the slightest 
chance to find among them anything but a No. 1 
plant because they have been carefully separated 
from all other stock.

t 
s6me astonishing facts about 
I THE NEW BOYSENBERRY 
If you will follow the instructions which we will 
be pleased to give you the result will be a beautiful 
crop of berries that you can sell with little effort. 
Boysenberries during the past season sold for double 
the price of young berries and it will be many years 
before the supply will catch up with the demand. 
FERTILIZATION. 
There is nothing better for fertilization than barn¬ 
yard or chicken manure. However, you may care¬ 
fully use any kind of fertilizer that is high in 
nitrogen. 
If you will set out Boysenberry plants very early 
you may have a few sample berries the first season, 
but your big crop will come the following summer. 
Where plants are to be irrigated they may be 
planted 6 by 6 but we advise more room to be allow¬ 
ed where irrigation is not practiced about? by 7. 
Boysenberries should be treated just like any 
other bramble and will do well in almost any soil, 
either heavy or light, providing it is fertilized and 
receives sufficient moisture. 
CULTIVATION. 
Berry vines are shallow rooted. Therefore, deep 
and frequent cultivation 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. 
GET A PARTNER 
If you live in a city or happen to be a fruit dealer 
and have a little money to spare why not make the 
acquaintance of some nearby farmer and grow 
Boysenberries on shares. It will be a pleasant diver¬ 
sion and you can make some money. 
If you live in the country and have the land and 
the ability to raise these berries, but not the necessary 
money to buy the plants, why not make the ac¬ 
quaintance of some fruit dealer or other individual 
in a nearby city who will be glad to put some money 
in a partnership. 
The new Boysenberry is such an improve¬ 
ment over all | other vineberries that berry 
growers in California, where it originated, 
are destroying hundreds of acres of other 
vineberries ani replacing them with this 
amazing new {orry. The reason is evident: 
1. VERY HARDY. 
A United States government experimental 
station advised under date of March 10th 
that the Boysenberry stood the extreme low 
temperature of last winter as well as any 
other bramble and much better than most 
when the thermometer went to 10 degrees 
below zero. They also expressed the opinion 
that this berry appeared to be so extremely 
hardy that it should thrive in southern New 
England states and such states as Ohio and 
Illinois. 
A Boysenberry planting in northern 
Oklahoma during the past winter was not 
killed when the thermometer went to 15 
below zero. This new member of the bram¬ 
ble family is very hardy. It is recommended, 
however, that in extremely cold sections, 
canes should remain on the ground for the 
first winter and be mulched with straw. 
2. DROUGHT RESISTANT. 
i 
In Arkansas and Oklahoma there are 
Boysenberry plantings that were not dam¬ 
aged by the intense heat and drought of the 
past summer, 'while other brambles were 
absolutely killel. 
RESERVE NOW 
I 
1 
There have! now been reserved 
ten times moife plants than were 
sold up to January 1st last sea¬ 
son and if yjau desire to plant 
the Boysenberry this coming 
season it wo^ld surely be wise 
to make your reservation now. 
Not 1/lOth of the population of 
the United States has seen or 
tasted this mjarvelous berry and 
when they do there is going to 
be the g-redkest stampede for 
these plants that has ever been 
known for any plant. 
There will not be sufficient 
plants during the coming season 
to supply the demand. There¬ 
fore, you should make reserva¬ 
tions at once. 
3. IMMENSE PRODUCTION 
AND PROFIT. 
Ted Moss, Mentone, Calif., has made 
affidavit that he set out 100 Boysenberry 
plants spring of 1935 and made from this 
planting $311.10 by June 30, 1936. 100 
plants will set out 1/lOth of an acre. There¬ 
fore, this was at the rate of $3111 per acre. 
200 plants may be set out on the average 
city lot. Any person in a community who 
has the foresight to plant out an acreage of 
these berries and be first in their commun¬ 
ity to do so, should make an immense profit. 
4. IMMENSE SIZE. 
There is no trick photography in the 
pictures on this circular. These pictures 
were taken with the rule beside them and 
were enlarged proportionally. Therefore, 
they are actual size. Some Boysenberries 
have actually been found nearly 2J4 inches 
long and the four portrayed at the top 
of this page were part of 18 that filled an 
8 ounce box and weighed nearly 11 ounces. 
5. COST HALF AS MUCH TO PICK. 
Pickers in large plantings of these berries 
are delighted to pick them at half the price 
that is paid for other berries, because ber¬ 
ries are so immense, grow in large clusters 
on long stems so that thorns do not bother 
pickers. 
6. LONG SEASON. 
Picking season is from 8 to 10 weeks. 
The berry really has a tendency toward 
everbearing, since in warmer climates some 
berries have been picked as late as Feb¬ 
ruary. 
7. DELICIOUS FLAVOR. 
The Boysenberry has a distinctive flavor, 
altogether different, from any kivown berry. 
Fifty-two ladies questioned on one day, 
after tasting it, said that its flavor was 
somewhat suggestive of the raspberry. 
8. VERY SWEET. 
If the Boysenberry is permitted to remain 
on the vine until it is fully ripe it is much 
sweeter than any other vineberry. When 
eating fresh, no sugar is necessary because 
it has a very high sugar content. 
9. SEED. 
The seed are very small and very few in 
comparison to other berries. Eight lbs. and 
4ozs. of juice can be extracted from 10 lbs. 
of berries. 
10. TENACIOUS. 
Many berries when they become dead ripe 
will fall from the vine very quickly. This 
is not true of the Boysenberry. When dead 
ripe it will hang many days. 
11. USES. 
No vineberry can compare with its delici¬ 
ous flavor when it is made into jelly, jam, 
marmalade, or canned. In addition to tnis, 
it makes a most excellent fountain drink 
by adding four times water and a little 
sugar. Those ice cream makers who have 
tried it in sherbet immediately found it to 
be the very best seller. 
IMMENSE SIZE 
It will take from 120 to 160 youngberries or 200 or more 
blackberries to fill a pint basket. 60 to 80 Boysenberries 
will do it. In California the Boysenberry has produced 
13,000 pounds to the acre. 
GET A PARTNER 
If you live in a ^ity or happen to be a fruit dealer and have a little 
money to spare ifhy not make the acquaintance of some nearby farm¬ 
er and grow Bo^enberries on shares. It will be a pleasant diversion 
and you can mare some money. 
If you live in tb ■ country and have the land and the ability to raise 
these berries, but not the necessary money to buy the plants, why 
not make the acquaintance of some fruit dealer or other individual 
in a nearby city Who will be glad to put some money in a partnership. 
Plant Boysenberfy this spring because they are not only better than 
other berries wljen fresh but make the best jams, jellies and pies. 
For canning they are the coming berry, and the juice 8 lbs. 4 
from 10 lbs. of fruit makes a delicious drink.

COST OF PICKING 
Cost of picking cut in half because berries are produced 
in large clusters of immense berries on long stems that 
stand away from the canes. 
ORIGIN 
The Boysenberry was developed from three blackberires of unknown 
origin, Cuthbert raspberry, and loganberry. All of these berries are 
hardy and while we have only had the Boysenberry for two winters, 
our experiments have indicated that it is just as hardy as its parents. 
Cold Section.^ 
Boysenberries have been exposed to 17° below zero liuiuin die paoi, 
winter and were not killed, while other brambles around them were 
completely frozen. See The Country Gentleman article, page 39, 
August number “The Boysenberry Proves Hardy.” 
Plant Boysenberry this spring because they have had and are still 
receiving more favorable comment by agricultural writers in Farm 
Journals than any other variety. Their enthusiasm is so great they 
are glad to tell the readers about it.
