IMMENSE NEW BOYSENBERRY 
The Boysenberry is a cross between Cuthbert Raspberry, 
Loganberry 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 several 
years ago and above all the Boysenberry has a most remark¬ 
able and delicious flavor, partaking of those of its three par¬ 
ents. 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 someone 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, damp¬ 
ness and humidity of Oregon and Florida, or dry Oklahoma 
has hurt them in the least. Boysenberry is so sturdy we be¬ 
lieve it can be grown successfully in our coldest states if 
canes are left on the ground during the winter and mulched 
with straw. 
A FINE VINE BERRY DEVELOPED FOR HOME USE 
A few Boysenberry plants will be the joy of your garden. 
You will enjoy fruit like this and you will have something to 
show your friends. You will agree with us in saying they are 
the finest berries you have ever tasted, either fresh, canned, in 
jams, jellies or pies. You will be proud of your Boysenberries. 
Plant 8 feet apart in rows 8 feet across. You will be surprised 
at the berries you can get from 12 plants, which cost as little 
as $1 delivered to your door. 
THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY 
We are happy to offer you this great berry which is with¬ 
out a thorn and this means much in the handling. Another 
great advantage is it ripens a week ahead of the thorny Boy¬ 
senberry, which alone is a material advantage, as it gets your 
berries on the market while prices are higher and that often 
means a big difference in your profit. The berries themselves, 
are identical, both in size and flavor, but the canes are per¬ 
fectly smooth, which means great economy and comfort in 
handling the vines and picking the berries. 
THE YOUNGBERRY LUCRETIA DEWBERRY 
During the years we have grown and fruited the Young¬ 
berry its success has been phenomenal, often yielding 200 
cases of fancy berries to the acre. We are now offering our 
customers an improved variety—a Thornless Youngberry. In 
every test this variety has shown itself equal to the thorny 
kind. The only difference apparently is that the improved 
variety is the old kind minus the thorns—and that’s an 
improvement. 
The Youngberry is a glowing dark purple in color, firm 
enough to ship, and if a high dessert quality. The large 
berries measure an inch in length and more than half an inch 
in diameter. The plants are vigorous growers and perfectly 
hardy. 
Youngberries are no more difficult to cultivate than other 
vining berries. Set in blocks seven feet by seven feet, using 
a two-wire trellis four feet high for the vines. Cultivate as 
any other berry, cutting the dead wood after the vines have 
fruited. 
We recommend the thornless variety. Our plants of this 
type are bought direct from the propagator. 
The Lucretia (The Creeping Blackberry) is so far ahead 
of any other variety of the Dewberry that we have discon¬ 
tinued growing other kinds. The berries are a deep glossy 
black, large in size, and of a fancy quality. As Lucretia fruits 
at the close of the strawberry season, and about two weeks 
before ordinary blackberries come in, there is always a 
demand for Dewberries on the market. The Lucretia bears 
long, cylindrical-shaped berries which are very firm. 
This variety of Dewberry is the only disease-resistant type 
yet produced. The plants are vigorous growers, hardy in the 
South and mid-South. 
Dewberries are very easy to cultivate, and due to their 
large size, they are not difficult to pick. The common method 
of growing them is to plant in rows seven feet apart, setting 
the plants five feet apart in a row. In the Northern states 
the Dewberry is not perfectly hardy and a straw mulch is 
usually used to cover the entire field. In the South and mid- 
South this is unnecessary unless the vines are to trail on the 
ground. Straw mulch is sometimes used then to keep the 
ripening berries from coming in contact with the ground. 
Often the vines are trellised on a single wire. You cannot 
buy better Dewberry plants than Waller’s True-to-name 
plants.
